A one-hour Argentine recital in Cambridge
Echoes of Buenos Aires brings Alvarado together with Gerardo Villar y Los Aguirre, a guitar quartet described in the event listing as fellow porteños. The term refers to people associated with Buenos Aires and the Río de la Plata.
The programme is rooted in Argentine music and is set to include tango, zambas and original ballads. The listing presents the performance as a recital rather than a full-length evening programme: its scheduled hour and lack of an interval are useful details for attendees planning their evening.
Alvarado was declared a Maestro by Argentina’s National Academy of Tango in 2019, according to the source. The listing also notes a two-decade international career and 11 album releases.
Piazzolla works announced for the programme
Three works by Astor Piazzolla are named in the published programme:
- Milonga del Trovador
- Jacinto Chiclana
- Vuelvo al Sur
Piazzolla’s music is the clearest confirmed thread in the programme, alongside the zambas and original ballads cited by the event listing. For readers deciding whether the concert suits them, the billed combination is Alvarado’s tenor voice with the quartet’s guitar accompaniment, in an intimate recital setting.
