Mirta Alvarez
Tango guitar soloist, arranger and professor, Mirta ALVAREZ has been holding her guitar since she was 8 years old.
Born in the Buenos Aires Province, Mirta studied in the Popular Music School of Avellaneda as a Senior Instrumentalist of Popular Music with a specialization in Tango Guitar and Folklore Guitar, student of Argentine Master guitarists Aníbal Arias and Kelo Palacios. She is now a teacher in the same institution as Senior Guitar Professor, teaching Tango guitar, Tango History and Apreciation.
Within her research of Tango history and listening, Mirta is practicing tango dancing as an element of interpretation, admiring the improvisation that the dance proposes.
She interprets her own arrangements, adapting the most remarcable orchestras to her guitar, proposing a dialogue between music and poetry, through instrumental and sung versions, from “the Guardia Vieja” to Astor Piazzolla, incorporating her own compositions.
