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 an exceptional guitar quartet, Gerardo Villar y Los Aguirre - fellow porteños from the city of the Rio de Plata, - 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.
Alvarado, a charismatic performer, celebrated worldwide for his mesmerising tenor voice, brings tango alive with intensity, elegance, and passion, infusing a 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.
The recital will be about one hour long with no interval.
