Alejandro Brittes Quartet (BOSTON-AREA DEBUT!)Argentine accordionist Brittes has been described by University of Texas professor Mark Brill as one of the three principal accordionists of the important traditional South American chamamé musical genre, a 400-year old musical expression declared as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO that was born of the encounter between native Guaraní cultures and the Baroque musical influences brought by Jesuits in the Mission period.
Brittes´s musical career spans over 30 years, he has 100 original compositions and 9 albums, and has performed in 10 nations in the Americas and Europe, collaborating with chamamé legends such as Raúl Barboza and Chango Spasiuk.
He has published a book titled “The Origins of Chamamé”.
He also has a project with a Baroque orchestra: (L)ESTE.
The Quartet is composed of: Alejandro Brittes (accordion), André Ely (7-stringed guitar), Charlise Bandeira (flute), and Carlos de Césaro (contrabass).
For Fall 2023 North America touring, Alejandro Brittes Quartet is supported by Ibermúsicas/Mid Atlantic Arts´ Iber Exchange program.
