Martín Alvarado & Gerardo Villar Y Los Aguirre

Music Doors: 7:15 pm Show Starts: 8:00 pm

Advance Price: £20

Widely considered to one of Argentina’s finest voices, Martín Alvarado is a world renowned Buenos Aires-born troubadour who takes tango and other folkloric styles from his homeland to new levels of artistry.

As a charismatic performer singing with a full symphony orchestra or with just his voice and guitar in front of a handful of people, his soulful and unforgettable interpretations are always infused with warmth, colour, nuance and sensitivity.

Together with Gerado Villar and Los Aguirre guitar quartet, they offer the authentic sound of old Buenos Aires, with added 21st century flair in a repertoire that includes pieces by Piazzolla and songs by other major tango protagonists, such as Carlos Gardel, folkloric styles such as zamba, and original ballads.

Prepare for an emotional journey into the passion of Argentinian music, poetry, and culture – and art in its purest form.

“Indisputably one of the world’s finest vocalists” DJ Ritu MBE, Resonance FM, London

“The world needs to experience this extreme form of aural pleasure… totally mesmerising, a tango epiphany.” Max Reinhardt, BBC Radio
