about

"𝗣𝗶𝗮𝘇𝘇𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮 - 𝗥𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗮: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼” by Omar Garcia Brunelli

The title of this double portrait was not chosen at random. Astor Piazzolla and Eduardo Rovira are usually presented as the two pioneers of avant-garde tango. It has been claimed that there was a certain rivalry between them, and it is a subject of debate which of the two was the first to modernize tango. The cornerstone in the creation of modern tango was laid by Piazzolla in 1955 with the Octeto Buenos Aires. The following year, Rovira joined Octeto La Plata, but did not leave behind any commercialized recordings.

While nothing clear or definitive has emerged from this apparent controversy, it is a good starting point to understand the necessity felt by the group SONICO to create their third album, “Piazzolla-Rovira: The Edge of Tango”. The album simultaneously presents the music of both octets, the initial exponents of the avant-garde of tango. With these ensembles, Piazzolla and Rovira traveled, for the first time, to the edges of the genre.

SONICO Brussels, Belgium

SONICO, created in Brussels (Belgium) in 2015, has rescued the repertoire of Argentine composer Eduardo Rovira, often mistakenly considered ‘the other Astor Piazzolla’. However, Rovira, was a key composer in the creation of “new tango,” who made his own imprint during the Buenos Aires vanguard of the 1960s. ... more
