With the Boston Globe hailing the world musician as “the main exponent of Chamamé”, Argentine composer, accordionist, and researcher Alejandro Brittes headlines a special June 9 concert event at Davenport’s Redstone Room. The event will boast an exploration of Brittes’ Chamamé heritage: an ancestral rhythm born from the encounter between the ritualistic musicality and the worldview of the Original Peoples – The Guaranis – and the Baroque music taught in the Jesuit Missions in a cultural macro-region that encompasses Argentina, central and southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
