Thibaut Garcia plays La Cumparsita (Gerardo Matos Rodríguez)

Classical guitarist Thibaut Garcia plays one of the most famous tangos of all time, La Cumparsita, written in 1916 by the Uruguayan musician and composer Gerardo Matos Rodríguez. This piece is featured on his new album with countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, À sa guitare. Discover here: https://w.lnk.to/asgLY

The album of voice and guitar duets takes its name from a song by the 20th century French composer Francis Poulenc, but its frame of reference is extraordinarily wide, both culturally and stylistically: its 22 tracks range across 400 years and music by composers and songwriters from France, Britain, Austria, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, and the USA. As Thibaut explains, "A musician’s job is to give a color to the sound. A guitar doesn’t have one sound, it has hundreds, even thousands of sounds, and it’s our job to play with a palette of colors to produce something unique."
