Duo Kvaratskhelia • Retratos

With RETRATOS, the guitar duo Kvaratskhelia takes its listeners on a musical journey to South America, presenting the music of composers Radamès Gnattali, Guido Santórsola and Astor Piazzolla.

The fact that brothers Nick and David Kvaratskhelia have both made the guitar their instrument is an absolute stroke of luck for guitar fans. For the interplay of the two testifies to an empathy and mutual understanding that perhaps only siblings can feel and express. They carry on a musical dialogue and offer an almost symbiotic interplay. It is precisely the agogic so typical of Latin American music, the slowing down and then increasing of the tempo, that gives their playing a dynamic and makes their interpretation so particularly lively and expressive. Worth hearing!
