Adriana Balboa - Sur

Adriana Balboa was born in 1966 in Montevideo/Uruguay. Since 1994, she has lived in Berlin, where she completed her studies at the “Hanns Eisler” School of Music in Berlin. She has since worked as a teacher and an active concert guitarist. Her first CD "Sur" is an album full of passion that creates a grandiose reflection of the mood in the music of the Río De La Plata. Lively joie de vivre, melancholy, and passion come about as close as they can in the music of Latin America. Besides tango arrangements with classical flair, we hear traditional rhythms and folkloristic themes. Adriana Balboa plays with a profound power of expression and creates an image of the emotional world of the people from the Río de la Plata. One of the highlights of the CD is the famous "Cinco Piezas" by Astor Piazzolla, the only works he wrote specifically for the guitar. Other composers represented include Aníbal Troilo, Agustín Barrios, or Jaurés Lamarque-Pons.
