El Rey | Los Comprovincianos

Song name: El Rey, composed by Roque L.Gonzalez. Los Comprovincianos is a trio formed by two button accordions and a Spanish guitar. They come from Rosario, and they perform music from the eastern part of Argentina, like Chamame and Chamarrita. This music is very rhythmic, and it’s played for dancing. These styles find their roots in the southern parts of Brazil. Traditionally this style is not played by percussion instruments, so the accordion parts become like drums and generate the forward motion to invite the dancers. Their lineup is Walter Martinez, Jorge Ramirez, and Marito Pagura. Premiered on Thu, 16 Feb 2023 at Folklore Argentino 1 curated by Leo Genovese.
