On November 8, 2017, we were pleased to welcome Ignacio Montoya Carlotto to present his concert "solo piano".

About the artist

He is a pianist, composer and arranger born in 1978. At an early age he knew, listening to a dance orchestra, to understand how that contraption happening on stage would be his vocation from then on. He grew up with the name Ignacio Hurban, until August 2014, when he consolidated his identity by being recognized as the son of Laura Carlotto and Walmir Oscar "Puño" Montoya and grandson of Estela de Carlotto, president of the Asociación Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo. Curiously, when learning about his biological origin, he notices that music plays an important role in his family: his father was a drummer, his paternal grandfather a saxophonist and his maternal grandfather, a music lover, a jazz lover.

He has performed concerts and recordings in Argentina and abroad with numerous artists such as: León Gieco, Raúl Porcheto, Tabaré Cardozo, Agarrate Catalina, Ricardo Mollo, Guillermo Fernández, Palo Pandolfo, Lidia Borda, Carlos "Negro" Aguirre, Hugo Fattoruso, Bersuit Vergarabat, George Haslam, La Bomba de Tiempo, Juan Quintero & Luna Monti, Rodrigo Domínguez, Silvia Iriondo, Juan "Pollo" Raffo, Paolo Rossi, Francesca Ancarola, Liliana Herrero and Adrian Abonizio.

The palette of Argentine music has many nuances, so many that it is difficult to even enumerate them, but there are some points that cannot be ignored, to think of Argentine music without thinking of Tango is impossible, just as it is necessary to look at the great possibility offered by the national Folklore.

Since Tango and Folklore have been established as pillars of Argentine culture to the present, the Argentine musical language has been enriched by a large number of other languages, hence the Jazz appears as an important seasoning, from this mixture is born and grows this proposal in which works of: Horacio Salgán, Astor Piazzolla, tangos of the so-called Guardia Vieja, Chacareras, some zamba by Cuchi Leguizamón and also own works in which a certain classical tradition is mixed with improvisational strokes that are nothing more than a sample of Argentine music in a timeline.
