Imagination mixed with local authenticity are among the hallmarks of the legendary Argentinian composer and guitarist Pujol. TRES PIEZAS VIAJERAS is clothed as a travelogue, yet it is also a dance suite bringing together the main musical genres of the Rio de la Plata district of Buenos Aires. The “Bremen” movement (composed in Germany) is a modern tango, “Pesadumbre” is a slow milonga (an older folk dance that gave rise to tango), and the “Ezeiza” movement is an urbanized treatment of the candombe dance, known for its dizzying speed. Each movement may be played separately as well as in the complete setting making this work a versatile and stimulating addition to the repertoire.
TRES PIEZAS VIAJERAS (Three Traveling Pieces) emerged during a trip to Germany in 2021. Its three movements bring together the three musical genres of the Rio de la Plata area: Tango, Milonga, and Candombe. “Bremen” is a characteristic modern tango written on a bass line that “walks” the heaviness of an urban and warm rhythm. “Pesadumbre” (Sorrow) is an air in Milonga Campera style (Milonga from the countryside), in a slow tempo, portraying the lethargy of a melancholy siesta. “Ezeiza” (a town near the international airport in Buenos Aires) is an air in Candombe style: an urban Candombe of great rhythmic vivacity. It presents a rhythm that at times bumps into itself and, at other times, reaches an extremely fast, dizzying, and violent rhythm.Las TRES PIEZAS VIAJERAS surgieron durante un viaje a Alemania en el año 2021. Son tres piezas que reúnen los tres géneros musicales del área del Rio de la Plata: el Tango, la Milonga y el Candombe. “Bremen” es un característico tango de vanguardia escrito sobre una línea del bajo que “camina” la pesadez de un ritmo urbano y caluroso. “Pesadumbre” es un aire de Milonga Campera, de tiempo lento, andante, que nos cuenta el letargo de una melancólica siesta. “Ezeiza” es un aire de Candombe. Un Candombe urbano de gran vivacidad rítmica. Nos propone un ritmo que por momentos se tropieza consigo mismo y, en otros momentos, alcanza un ritmo extremadamente rápido, vertiginoso y violento.
