Very few musicians have taken as much risk and crossed as many borders as Eduardo Rovira. Specialists considered him the counterpart of Piazzolla, especially for his way of being and acting, expanding the limits of tango every way that he could. The music industry, almost entirely in the hands of foreign companies, imposed a policy that prioritized the promotion of American artists as opposed to Argentine artists, especially if not suited to the consumption patterns of the time.
In this context Rovira was one of the artists who reflected upon the problems posed to Argentinian music. The few albums that Eduardo Rovira was able to record were published by independent labels, and they were not always able to capture the extreme finesse of his sound and the delicacy of the arrangements. Perhaps that is why Piazzolla was considered more of a danger to tango and the traditionalists attacked him with greater insistence. Later, their disparate characters led them to different destinations: Piazzolla to Italy to fight on the international scene and Rovira to the provincial city of La Plata, to immerse himself in his music.
However, his work was like a gem ready to be discovered and to astonish those who have the same curiosity and nonconformity of the so established.
In a sense, he now attained this recognition through the Belgian group Sonico, which has been successful in making his music be performed again. Sonico is a wonderful surprise, an embrace that Eduardo Rovira deserved and that this group performs with equality, knowledge, emotion and much love. It makes me very happy, if Eduardo were here surely he would be very happy. The following year, Rovira joined Octeto La Plata, but did not leave behind any commercialized recordings.
The album simultaneously presents the music of both octets, the initial exponents of the avant-garde of tango. With these ensembles, Piazzolla and Rovira traveled, for the first time, to the edges of the genre. Streaming and Download help. Report this album or account. Musso by Ausecuma Beats.
