Echoes of Buenos Aires - Martin Alvarado and Gerardo Villar y Los Aguirre at St. Wilfred's Church

All the way from Buenos Aires, evocative tango and Argentinian folk delivered by one of the world’s finest vocal artists in this genre and a world class guitar quartet. Expect the wow factor and an emotionally engaging journey of music and song.

Widely considered to one of Argentina’s finest voices, Martín Alvarado – who will be in the UK as part of his 60th international tour – 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 whether singing with a full symphony orchestra or with just his voice and guitar in front of a handful of people, his 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.
