Guitarist, composer and arranger, Edgardo Acuña moves gracefully through the different realms of tango. On the one hand, he has gained experience in Julián Plaza’s sextet, Atilio Stampone’s quintet, Orlando Trípodi’s quartet and the orchestras of Osvaldo Berlingieri and José Colángelo. Also, he has forged his own way as the bandleader of Neokuarteto and Undertango, performing a repertoire that combines “Taconeando” (by Pedro Maffia), “Lark’s Tongues in Aspic” (by Robert Fripp) and pieces of his own, such as “Vorágine”, “Tango atroz” and “Urbano”. The last one comes as a result of his search for a contemporary Buenos Aires-rooted language. He will be accompanied by Fabián Bertero (violin), Pocho Palmer (bandoneon), Aldo Saralegui (piano) and Guillermo Ferrer (double bass).
