Event information


Experience the passion and power of Buenos Aires in a breathtaking evening of tango, folk music, and unforgettable song. Internationally acclaimed vocalist Martín Alvarado joins forces with the exceptional guitar quartet Gerardo  Villar y Los Aguirre to deliver an authentic musical journey from the heart of Argentina. From the revolutionary works of Astor Piazzolla to haunting zambas and original ballads, every performance is rich with emotion, artistry, and atmosphere. 
Celebrated worldwide for his mesmerising voice, Alvarado brings tango alive with intensity, elegance, and passion in a concert that promises to captivate audiences from beginning to end. Join us for the evening and be whisked off to South America in music!

Described as the best voice in Buenos Aires, the charismatic tenor infuses his carefully-chosen repertoire, with warmth, colour, nuance and sensitivity. His interpretations, whether singing with a full symphony orchestra, a jazz big band or with just his tenor voice and a guitar in front of a handful of people, have transcended language barriers and driven an illustrious two-decade globe-trotting career, awards and 11 album releases. In recognition of his significance as a cultural ambassador for Argentina, the National Academy of Tango officially declared him as a Maestro in 2019.

Martin will be joined on stage by fellow porteños from the city of the Rio de Plata, the talented Gerardo Villar & Los Aguirre guitar quartet. They performed a fantastic concert here in 2023, and we're delighted to have them back. Very highly recommended.
