Alejandro Brittes is set to perform on Monday, September 16 at Instituto Cervantes. Brazil-based Argentine composer, accordionist, and researcher Alejandro Brittes explores his chamamé heritage. This ancestral rhythm was born of the encounter between the ritual musicality and cosmovision of the Indigenous Guaraní and the Baroque music played in the Jesuit missions. It developed in a cultural microregion encompassing Argentina, central and southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
Following the success of his 2023 U.S. East Coast tour, Brittes begins a tour through the West and Midwest. His quartet is composed of André Ely on the 7-stringed Brazilian guitar, Carlos de Césaro on electric bass/contrabass, and Alejandro Brittes on González system button accordion.
