Martín Alvarado is widely considered to be #Argentina’s most significant contemporary tango singer and, increasingly, acknowledged as one of the finest vocalists in #tango’s history. He has been described as the voice of tango in the 21st Century. He discovered his talent to sing at 19 while studying guitar in #BuenosAires. A few years later he travelled to #Spain where he was spotted singing in Barcelona in 2002 and invited to perform in #Finland. News of his talent quickly spread in Finland and within weeks of arriving there, he was performing with the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra. Since then in 2003 he has performed in Europe and #SouthAmerica more than 500 times, often to sell-out audiences, had numerous TV performances in Finland, Russia, Slovenia and Argentina and produced four albums. His music has daily airplay on tango radio stations in Buenos Aires. In 2013, he won a Latin UK Award for Concert by International Artist of the Year and had his last album was released and distributed worldwide by UK-based record label Riverboat Records at World Music Network, which has some of the biggest names in world music on its roster. His highly acclaimed and carefully chosen repertoire features work by Argentina’s most celebrated poets and composers, including rare work by #Piazzolla, new tangos, all-time classics and some of his own compositions. Blessed with a fine vocal and emotional range, married to a commanding and charismatic stage presence, he is renowned for his sublime live performances, drawing comparisons by critics to the late great tango singing superstar of the 1930s, Carlos Gardel, and has been described as the most significant tango singer of our time. https://youtube/watch?v=Wk9mjtSJ_L4 #Milonga #LatinoMusic #ArgentinianMusic #ArgentineMusic tsu.co/LatinoMusicUK/24699117
