Carlos Aguirre
Argentine pianist and composer who, after integrating groups with different musical tendencies, turns this experience to the popular music of his country and Latin America.
He completed formal piano studies with Professor Graciela Reca in the city of Paraná, Entre Ríos (Argentina).
He shared and shares artistic projects with notable Latin American artists, such as Luis Salinas, Lucho Gonzalez, Hugo Fattoruso, Quique Sinesi, Francesca Ancarola, Juan Falu, Silvia Iriondo and Jorge Fandermole, among others.
He is linked to the song through his work as an arranger for productions of Argentine, Peruvian and Chilean singers. From this relationship with sung music and aspects of literature arise works with his own texts, others with verses by Argentine poets and some partnerships. These songs have found their instrumentation through a group experience with two academically trained guitarists, which has allowed this composer to learn more intimate aspects of the technique of this instrument and, from there, address a “chamber-like” concept for his songs. creations.
The relationship with the guitarist Eduardo Isaac provided him with the universal language of the instrument, through transcriptions and arrangements by Isaac himself and the repertoire of other composers from around the world who live and produce in our time.
He has composed a series of pieces for piano based on Argentine and Latin American rhythms and forms.
He composed the suite “Escenas Paranaenses”, for guitar, string orchestra, percussion and flute, performed by the guitarist Eduardo Isaac and different orchestras in different stages of the country. He has also created music for plays and short films.
In 2010, after multiple musical experiences both on his solo career and within different formations that were a creative laboratory for his artistic thought, Carlos Aguirre made his first trip to Japan and China. Two of his record productions were released in the Japanese market, “Crema ” (Carlos Aguirre Grupo) and “Orillania ” (Carlos Aguirre), which allowed him to tour nine Japanese cities, along with guitarist Quique Sinesi. , in 2012.
After the appearance of his album “Orillania”, released in 2012 by Shagrada Medra – the independent record label he shares with the flutist from Entre Ríos Luis Barbiero -, he proposes new artistic projects, among which a space for his solo work stands out. Thus, a repertoire of songs from the coast emerged, where his own compositions converge with arrangements on works by referential authors from that South American region. With this proposal, Aguirre recovers the figure of the soloist, and assumes his status as composer, arranger and instrumentalist, in an intimate dialogue with piano and guitar.
Considered one of the most original creators of current Argentine folk music and manager of a work born under the shelter of folklore as an identity brand, he understands it not as an ossified thought, but as a dynamic, broad and changing expression. His compositions range from songs to a deep development of instrumental music, with a chamber atmosphere, a technical delicacy typical of classical training and resources from popular music such as jazz and Latin American sounds.
