With Esteban Morgado at Clasica y Moderna

Here I am with Esteban Morgado, Enzo Pinto y Quique Condomi.

They invited me that night to perform with them for the opening of the "Semana de la Cultura" in Buenos Aires.

They closed the 9 de Julio (widest avenue in the world) for the performance.

A video of that day will be uploaded later.

Esteban won the First Prize Carlos Gardel for the Best Album from a Tango Orchestra in 2008!

With Amelita Baltar at El Vesubio

Amelita Baltar is a Goddess and was one of Astor Piazzolla's partners in life.

Amelita is the best female ever to interpret the combination of Tango Poetry and Singing.

Like is expressed in todotango web site:

She stepped into the scene along with the Piazzolla-Ferrer team at a very special time which the commentator Néstor Dante González describes as follows: «The city was giving birth to triplets, two madmen and a crazy woman that revolutionized tango, the city music or as you may call it, it's the same for me, but they would carry the perfume of Buenos Aires to all places in the world. The musician (Piazzolla), the poet (Ferrer) and the female singer (Baltar) made something absolutely new and as all the new things it had its detractors and its admirers».To learn more about Amelita
