SONICO : Piazzola Rovira: La noche del encuenteo (QUINTET) (FREE)

Let's imagine a different winter evening. Not the one by the chimney fire, but rather the one of the journey under the shimmering Argentine sun... Do you picture it?

Tango is the essence of the Sonico Quintet, which offers us a clever marriage of Piazzola and Rovira, having developed its own avant-garde style.

A suave evening on the programme, five instruments dancing the Tango, double bass, piano, guitar, bandoneon and violin mingling their bodies and voices, eye to eye.

“Sonico dedicated to bringing Rovira’s work to a wilder audience. For those pleasure in Piazzolla’s music, Rovira’s should prove similarly gratifying if not a revelation (Sonico has released two terrific albums, with a third on the way) (…) Perhaps it’s because Piazzolla broadened the parameters of what a tango can be that we’re now able to appreciate Rovira’s genius as well.” Gramophone magazine, July 2021
