Blues Guitar with Dario A.

I was born in Tucuman, Argentina in 1986. At the age of 11, encouraged by my parents, I started to study Guitar at the Conservatory of the city. I took courses and lessons with recognized teachers and musicians. After graduating as a guitar performer in 2008, I decided to move to Buenos Aires to study Composition at the University of La Plata. One year later I was invited to become a cooperating teacher in the academic topic “Argentinian Folklore”. In 2015 I was awarded a scholarship to study a Master’s degree in jazz performance at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. As a performer, I gave numerous concerts as a soloist as well as in huge number of groups and ensembles, not only in Argentina, but in many parts of the world. I participated in highlighted festivals, including the Young Chamber Music International Festival in Chile, the “Guitarras del Mundo” International Festival in different opportunities, the International Jazz Festival of Jerusalem, the “Cosquin Folklore” Festival among others. I collaborated with many of the most recognized musicians in Argentina, such as: Juan Falu, Nahuel Pennisi, Ernesto Snajer, Teresa Parodi, Peteco Carabajal, Cecilia Zabala, Lucho Hoyos, among many others. My music was highly acclaimed by big leaders of the music scene in Israel such as: Idan Raichel, Albert Beger, Achinoam Nini and Daviv Broza. In New York in 2017 I was invited to record with William Parker (one of the greatest exponents of the free jazz world scene) for his album “Voices fall from the sky”. As a composer, I wrote numerous pieces for solo instruments as well as ensembles and orchestra, some of which have been performed by the “National University of Tucuman Symphonic Orchestra”. I composed the music track of local movies. I worked as a composer, arranger and main performer of “Argentina: Bombo y Milonga” Music and Dance Project, performing not only in Argentina but also in Mexico, receiving great review by the press. So far I have performed in Argentina, United States, Chile, Mexico, Israel, Palestine, Spain, Belgium, France, Netherlands, England, Czech Republic, Austria, United States and Canada.
