New CD out: Touma Wati
With Mara Diabate (Kora) & Ammar Toumi (Percussion)Carlos Dorado was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He studied guitar and composition in his native city and in Mar del Plata, Argentina, and presently lives in Switzerland. He has recorded four CDs of his own compositions, and has performed concerts at festivals in Argentina, Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxemburg, Mexico, Peru, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
The music of Carlos Dorado is fundamentally inspired by Argentinean folklore as well as a fusion of diverse South American rhythms and jazz. He works with approximately 30 different tunings to broaden the spectrum of the guitar in search of new tone colors and harmonies. His grand project is to integrate the guitar in chamber music by regularly writing for one or more guitars with different string ensembles.
