Rojas-Saccone-Taubas. Music!

Duo Saccone – Rojas

Matias Rojas from the city of Concordia, Entre Ríos and Esteban Saccone from Ezeiza, Buenos Aires, are a guitar duo formed at the beginning of 2017 after meeting while taking courses at the “Manuel de Falla” Conservatory in the city of Buenos Aires. With the idea of seeking a unique sound for two guitars within Argentine folk music, they combine concepts of classical chamber music with folk language and moments of improvisation. They undertake this project together, in which we can appreciate both traditional songs and original music and compositions within genres such as Zamba, chacareras, vidalas, gato, chamamé, and others.
