Ep 3 - What do Bach, Brad Mehldau, and tango have in common?
In this episode, Adam and Heyni explore (pandemic) creativity, unexpected musical collaborations, and how a duo of bandoneon players (the Ávalos–Solera Duo) ended up performing Bach fugues in churches across two continents.
They also dive into Adam’s 2024 album: Cuartetos Guitarreros, a collection of original compositions for tango guitar quartet that blends traditional Argentine rhythms with a contemporary chamber vibe. And yes… there’s a sticker album involved. (Think World Cup, but with guitarists. 🎸)
Join them reflecting on the beauty of doing small things that lead to big projects, and how musical obsession (and a little bit of madness) can spark something truly special.
This episode is a deep dive into music-making, collaboration, and the quirks of tango musicianship, with a lot of laughs, a little nerdiness, and a whole lot of heart.
And yes, there's also a 🚨 nerd room, complete with time signatures, hemiolas, and a baritone guitar. You've been warned. 🤓

* What’s the difference between a tango, a milonga, and a tango-milonga?
* What exactly is a guitarrero?
* What does musical obsession during lockdown look like?
* And how many 🚨 Nerd Alerts can Adam trigger before Heyni calls him out? (Spoiler: a lot.)
* Don´t forget to check “Quedate en casa,s o” the daily stream Adam had during the first few months of the pandemic. Here is the link to the episode having Adam as a host and Heyni as the guess artist.
