Within the framework of his 28-year career, Claudio Rojas decided to celebrate his anniversary in music with a tribute to the National Singer’s Day – a date that is commemorated every June 24 for the death of the renowned singer, composer and film actor, Carlos Gardel, who died that day but from 1935; Today, at 9:30 p.m. at the Municipal Cinema Theater, tickets are on sale at the theater’s box office for $3,000 and in advance at the cell phone. 2644992575.
“Tanguero, Cuyan and singer”, as defined, Claudio Rojas will present a tango and folklore show with the instrumental accompaniment of Jonatan Vera, Matías Sánchez, Matías Coronado and the Orquesta Típica San Juan directed by Esteban Calderón; The dance will also be performed by the dance couple Hilen Lastiri and Gastón Rodríguez.
“This show will be the most important thing of the year for me. I have never performed with 13 musicians on stage and a dance duo that will perform tango and folklore. It is a very strong move from a stage perspective,” Rojas told DIARIO DE CUYO in relation to the show in which he will review the tangos and folkloric songs that the Sanjuanino performed throughout his more than 2 decades in the industry, as well as 2 songs of his own authorship such as Una zamba and Mi ciudad provinciana, his brand new creations.
“In the first part, I will present a segment dedicated to the Cuyo people with compositions by local authors such as a mix of tunes by ‘El Negro’ Villavicencio composed by Mi amor en una tonada, Cuando el corazón se quieres quedará y No sé qué diablos me pasa, in addition to songs by Saúl Quiroga, Los Troncozo, Raúl de la Torre and Mario Zaguirre, among others, together with the musicians Vera, Sánchez and Coronado. Then, the tango block will arrive with Milonga de Buenos Aires, El Bazar de los Juguetes and, although I don’t want to spoil it, the end will be with Balada para un loco by Piazzolla, accompanied by the Orquesta Típica de Calderón,” mentioned the author, also happy to make a reality what for him is “a dream.”
