Born
in a family of musicians, the house in his childhood was always full of
Argentinian folklore. He began at five years old with his music studies,
and in 1985 at the age of nine, with guitar lessons until 1999. He studied
with Carlos Sokolovsky (Classical), Gorosito (blues), Esteban Morgado
(Tango and Argentinian Folklore) and Edgardo Cardozo (Technique Research),
the last one, one of the most important guitar players of the new generation.
He studied also singing, with Mariana Melero (94-98) and Natalia Schwartz
(98-2000). With Iris Guiñazú he studied "Anthropologic
singing"; a deep search around the relationship between body and
voice. (98-99). He had also a one year acting training in Periplo Theater
Company (2002).
After some experiences in rock and melodic music, he discovered the enormous
world of the South American Folklore and started a personal research on
this subject, traveling and listening to old recordings, in order to learn
about their similarities and differences, their origins and transformations.
This research took the form of different projects. First with the singer
Lucía Spivak, his sister, with special emphasis in vocal arrangements.
Then, with Florencia Rossi, around Brazilian and Argentinian repertoire.
In 1999, with four percussionists, he created "Manzana de tierra",
dedicated to know as close as possible Peruvian and Venezuelan rhythms
and then to find how to appropriate this music and perform it in a personal
way. After two years of work, playing in different centers and theaters
around Argentina, they recorded "El fruto se nutre de sus orígenes"
(the fruit is nourished by its origins). He took part also in the recording
of "Muxxica", a selection of ethnic experimental music performed
by argentinian musicians, in the year 2000. After that he went deeper
in this folklore: In 2001 he played with the bandoneón player
Miguel Guerra. In the same year with "Me cumbé", they
performed throughout Uruguay. And in 2002 with "Pura Canela Fina"
in theaters in Buenos Aires.
In contemporary music, he was part of a conducting project of the Buenos
Aires Government, directed by Edgardo Cardozo (2000).
In 2003 he moved to Europe, where he gave Latin Rhythms workshops and
guitar lessons in Spain and Netherlands. Now he is the guitar player
in Ay! Juana.
