Alejandro Brittes Trio

A son of parents from the Argentine province of Corrientes, Alejandro´s mother Marciana Ifrán of Santo Tomé was a radio host, and his father Hipólito Brittes of Perugorría was a musical producer of some of the great names in Chamamé such as: Isáco Abitbol and Fito Ledesma. At twelve years old Alejandro began to study accordion with Nini Flores, and at fifteen, formed his first musical group, recording his first album “Por la Senda Chamamecera”.

Alejandro navigates with his accordion, playing with the temporal universe of his music. He utilizes gravity to awaken the sensation that the music can touch your skin. A unique perception that the music fluctuates, and in listening to it, you enter into a space in which anything can happen around you without you even perceiving it.

Alejandro´s concerts establish a connection with the earth, with the origins of the music of his home region and with the universe, in primordial verticality. His trademark is to employ his accordion as if it were a bandoneón, in conversation between the left and right hands, achieving that the instrument be utilized in its highest performance.

The basses of the left hand are masterfully explored, because according to Alejandro, the low basses connect us with the earth, and the right hand button keyboard, beyond providing melody to the music, elevates us to the Universe.

His albums became another personal trademark, because neither one is similar to another, and despite being composed of music of the Argentina Littoral region, they are unique, and in this way his musicality and his compositions express an uncommon diverse musical intellect.
