Rovira 100: una celebración de lo desconocido, amb Sonico

Concert by the ensemble Sonico at the Petit Palau in Barcelona, with a programme centred on works by Eduardo Rovira and pieces by Astor Piazzolla, J. C. Cobián and other tango composers.

The ensemble Sonico is made up of five musicians: Lysandre Donoso on bandoneón, Alejandro Schwarz on electric guitar, Stephen Meyer on violin, Ariel Eberstein on double bass and Ivo De Greef on piano. The title of the evening, Rovira 100, places the figure of Eduardo Rovira at the centre of the programme, as the author of a good part of the pieces they perform.

Among Rovira's compositions are Majo Majú, Tango para Charrua, Tango para Ernesto, Preludio de la guitarra abandonada, Azul y yo, Sónico and Que lo paren. Rovira also signs the arrangement of Ritual, by O. Berlingieri. The repertoire is completed by Coral, by Astor Piazzolla; Efímero, by O. Luppi; Chiqui and Etereo, by A. Caracciolo; Los mareados, by J. C. Cobián in an arrangement by Piazzolla, and Nace una cuidad, by O. Valente.

The Petit Palau venue in Barcelona hosts concerts and shows. The works in the programme, mostly tangos according to their titles, are performed with the ensemble's instrumental line-up, in which the bandoneón and electric guitar share the spotlight with the violin, double bass and piano.
