Call for Papers
The Instituto Nacional de Musicología “Carlos Vega” (National Institute of Musicology “Carlos Vega”) announces the Symposium Eduardo Rovira 2021, which will take place on 15th and 16th of September 2021.
Eduardo Rovira (1925-1980) has been one of the key figures of avant-garde tango since the 1960s. In addition to being an excellent bandoneon player, he also trained as a classical composer, leaving behind an extensive range of works. His modern tango pieces, of great originality, are of fundamental importance for the history of the genre. However, for various reasons, his place in tango has been overshadowed by a lack of promotion and for many years it was difficult to access recordings and information about his career.
The purpose of this Symposium is to showcase the work of the great bandoneon player covering both his popular and classical music compositions, with a special focus on musicological studies. Likewise, works that connect Rovira’s work with the artistic, historical and cultural context of the 1960s and 1970s will be welcome. In this way, our intention is to re-engage with his music in parallel to a recent movement rescuing Rovira’s work through reissues of his albums and the interpretation of his repertoire by groups that perform his original compositions.
