This Saturday, in Pez Volcán, the collective concert “Río a casa” proposes the confluence of different artists linked to the Córdoba music scene in its different branches.
Lucas Heredia, Tabaré Ríos, Natalia de La Fuente, Martín Neri, Vicky Nycs are in the room located in the Güemes neighborhood “to give a concert full of songs of struggle, love, identity and dance.”
“Rio a casa decanta of the action of migrating of skin, country, continent and the importance of returning to our roots to continue building,” provides the press text that disseminates the event. And there he incipiently proposes one of the central condiments of the evening.
The show will represent the return of Tabaré Ríos to local stages following three years living in Barcelona. The man from Córdoba will perform alongside part of his current band La TRibu (Iñaki Allende and Natalia De La Fuente) and some old friends from the city: Natalia Teran, Juancho Croce, Otho Vidal, Leo Carricaburu and Fermin Rios.
With that ensemble he will share songs from his most recent album For all the moonsrecorded in Spain along with the project that accompanies him in his live performances, which stand out for being multidisciplinary concerts.
Change of plans (and life)
For the singer-songwriter, who mixes folklore with other Latin American influences, this return home with new music under his arm represents the possibility of showing the consolidated path on the other side of the Atlantic from a stay that began as fortuitous and became a choice. .
“I arrived in Barcelona a week before the pandemic,” clarifies the musician when reviewing what he has experienced in Europe since 2020 to this point. “I was going to present an album and meet, and I would come back. But life put me in a bind,” he says at the beginning of his story.
“I was lucky that some things happened to be able to be there and as soon as the pandemic ended I went out to play on the street. That became my life, suddenly I found myself being a street musician and to this day I still make a living from that, of course now more established and with several musical projects that also help me live.
About that way of life, Ríos expands and makes clear the transformative process it meant for him. “The experience is infinite. The fact of singing every day, transmitting, having contact with the street. And on a professional level I also had the opportunity to meet wonderful and talented people who are now part of La TRibu,” he explains.
“We have been lucky that they heard a song there and called us from Germany to come and play. Or to the Basque Country, to Valencia. Music has moved a lot and it has made us travel,” he adds regarding an experience that also brought new music into his life thanks to the colleagues from all over the world with whom he crossed paths.
Disc presentation flavor
One of those musicians was precisely Heredia, who shared the stage with Ríos in Barcelona and now helped him produce this performance in “comeback” mode and, according to its protagonist, “with the flavor of an album presentation.”
“When I told him we were coming to Argentina he told me ‘we have to do something.’ This date was put together with love and with people who want to join. For me it is an incredible emotion that the arms of Córdoba open when I was simply thinking regarding coming to visit,” says the singer-songwriter, who will present For all the moons with a hybrid format: with part of his band in Barcelona and with local friends.
“It is very special for us,” he says regarding the arrival in Córdoba of Iñaki Allende and Natalia De la Fuente, the other Argentine members of La Tribu who will be present this Saturday. Along with them there will be beloved guests who did not hesitate to join with just a call in between.
“We are seven. It’s a mix between the band I had 8 years ago and my new band in Spain, so it’s a dream,” anticipates Ríos, who highlights the “dream” nature of this presentation. “Many of the songs will be from the new album and there will be some old songs for those who know me from before,” he says.
Finally, Ríos highlights the special context in which this concert takes place, which will also have some flavor of a peña and a musical meeting around a fire that may not be burning but is present on a symbolic level.
“We believe that the situation in which we are living is that of a country that is often overwhelmed economically speaking, and we believe that the way out is from hugs, from sharing, from affection, from listening with someone there at your side. That is why we say that we entrench ourselves: we are going to meet in a place where we know we can trust each other,” Ríos closes.
Tickets for this Saturday’s show can be purchased through Alpogo.com starting at $4,000 (plus service charge). Tickets will also be sold at the entrance to Pez Volcán (av. Marcelo T. de Alvear 835), starting at 9 p.m.
