From Buenos Aires to the Andes: A musical journey through Argentina

 

Multilingual vocalist/ songwriter Eleanor Dubinsky and Argentine guitarist/composer Dario Acosta Teich bring audiences together with fresh interpretations of jazz, Latin, popular, and original songs. Their interactive presentation From Buenos Aires to the Andes: A Musical Journey Through Argentina takes audience members on a dynamic ride through traditional tango and the folk genres of chacarera and huayno (Argentine folk music that evolved from a mix of Indigenous and European sounds). This free, all-ages outreach event includes an abbreviated concert of Argentine music, an introduction/demonstration of traditional Argentine musical genres and instruments, and interactive songwriting. Attendees will leave with a brand-new song, composed as a group, in collaboration with the artists. Come ready to make music at the Grand Marais Art Colony, Founders Hall (120 W. 3rd Ave.) July 23 from 1-2 p.m. Masks will be required.

This outreach event is a wonderful intro to Dubinsky and Acosta Teich’s concert that evening, July 23, 7 pm, at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts (51 W 5th Street). For more info about the concert and to buy tickets, visit northshoremusicassociation.com, or purchase tickets at the door. Masks will be required at this event.

This activity is made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
