The bandoneon is an instrument that was invented in the mid-19th century in Germany.. Today we know that it arises from the invention and sum of innovations contributed by Karl Federich Uhlig, Karl Zimmerman and Heinrich Band How do I get to the Río de la Plata? Although it is extremely uncertain, the myth tells of a Swiss sailor. What we do know, is that the first bandoneons began to arrive around 1880, that caught on to the core in the face of a certain sound demand that existed in our country and to 1920 It was a popular instrument.
The development of the bandoneon was extremely important in Argentina compared to what it had in its country of origin thanks to the fact that there were not two world wars here and also due to the expressive demands of music such as tango., folklore and chamamé.
In the middle of the 60 rock breaks into a more globalized world. This accentuates a certain decadence of tango and generates a kind of rivalry.: eras of tango, or eras of rock, call, the folklorist. In the years,,es,Graffiti was winner of Best Instrumental Album Award,,es 90, driven by a certain global recognition and perhaps as a counterpart to an even more globalized world, the music of tango and especially its dance, They have a kind of revenge. This rejuvenation is the breeding ground for a type of bandoneon player that had not existed until then..
The bandoneon players who make up this cycle use the bandoneon as if it were a stove guitar to compose their songs.. Most of them worship tango because it was most likely this style., or the genius of Piazzolla who brought them closer to the instrument, so everything, far from rivaling, They cannot hide that their clubs were, or are full of references to rock culture and the current so-called “urban music”, in addition to other music such as Jazz, erudite music, etc.
Far from establishing sectarianism, This first edition of “Bandoneón lateral B” attempts to make visible a new type of bandoneon player who in some way dismantles, questions, reformulates that inseparable marriage between bandoneon and tango and expands it towards freer horizons. Above all, tries to demonstrate that this enormous invention, At this point we can almost say German-Argentine, enjoys full health and once again, It is mostly interpreters from this country who carry out this innovation.
This is a limited first edition and hopes to continue including, since there are many, bandoneon players with these characteristics in future editions. The list of participants makes an approach between figures that fit more with what is described and includes Gabriel Rivano as a kind of predecessor., passing through the pioneer Susana Ractlif, hasta Ai Aumeda, bandoneonist of Japanese origin who composes his own songs.
The push of Café Vinilo for the realization of this cycle is appreciated., not only for the productive contribution, if not for being a concert hall associated with broadcasting, vitality and even the experimentation of this instrument in the city of Buenos Aires.
