Sebastopol Community Cultural Center's 2024 Fall/Winter Series
Join us for an enchanting evening with Brazil-based Argentine composer and accordionist Alejandro Brittes, celebrated by The Boston Globe as a "premier exponent of Chamamé."
Brittes masterfully navigates the temporal universe of his music with his accordion, creating a sensory experience that feels almost tangible. His performances delve deep into his Chamamé heritage, an ancestral rhythm that connects us with the Earth and the Universe through music and dance.
This rich tradition emerged from the fusion of the indigenous Guaraní's ritual musicality and Baroque music, promising a captivating and soulful journey for all who attend.

Alejandro Brittes
Accordionist, composer, researcher, and interpreter of music of the Argentine Littoral region, Alejandro studied Classical Music at the Escola Juan Pedro Esnaola and possesses 30 years of disseminating Chamamé throughout the world, presenting in nations such as: Italy, Portugal, France, Czech Republic, Colombia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil and others. He was one of the first Chamamé musicians to initiate the exchange between Chamamé and rock, recording with Los Piojos. He won best instrumentalist award at Cosquín in 1996 with an original composition. He won the Ramallo Porá Revelation award and the Carlos Keen award as best instrumentalist and best ensemble and, in the same year won the Chamamé Festival in Federal, Entre Ríos. Alejandro researches about the musical origins of the Chamamé rhythm, being concerned with the cultivation of the identity of Chamamé, because of this he published the book “A origem do Chamamé” in 2021 together with the historian and cultural producer Magali de Rossi. The book came to be one of the most-sold titles on Amazon Brazil in the Arts category. He has participated in tours with artists such as: Chango Spasiuk, Raúl Barboza, Os Fagundes, Elton Saldanha and also in shows with national acts such as Luiza Possi. He has performed as a soloist with the Orquestra Sinfônica de Mato Grosso do Sul and the Orquestra de Câmara Versatellis. Alejandro is hailed by University of Texas professor Mark Brill as one of the three principal contemporary Chamamé accordionists in Dr. Brill´s book “Music of Latin America and the Caribbean” (Routledge, 2017).
