Focused on the Rio de la Plata genres of tango, waltz and milonga, direct from Uruguay, Batimento Duo play deeply expressive, virtuosic and beautiful guitar music.
Doors at 6pm
Performance from 7pm
Two sets of music with an interval.
Tickets: £8-£10
Batimento duo, or Igancio Correa and Andrés Rey, explore the sonic and expressive possibilities of the guitar ensemble. Taking regional music as a starting point, they approach musical practice from different points of view, and focused on the Rio de la Plata genres of tango, waltz and milonga. For this proposal, original arrangements for the ensemble are created and interpreted with a personal look at the genres. The selection of the repertoire is mainly due to the link that the works have with Uruguay, whether by the composers,
lyricists or that their creation or subject matter is closely linked to the Uruguayan territory, vindicating the importance of the country within tango.
As part of the project, the members of the duo have edited a book of scores with their arrangements, which has the support and funding of CIATyC (Comisión Interministerial de Apoyo al Tango y el Candombe). The project also had the support of Ibermúsicas for participation in international music festivals, Fondo Regional para la Cultura for a national tour and the FONAM (Fondo Nacional de Música) to make a record.
