horacio avilano

Nací el 24 de febrero del 1957. Comencé a estudiar guitarra a los 12 años con Emilio Solas. Cuatro años después empecé a tocar con mi tio, Hector Arbelo: fueron años de valioso aprendizaje, Floreal Ruiz, Rodolfo Lezica y una serie de lugares y eventos que recuerdo con cariño. Por ese tiempo, junto con mi hermano Carlos hacíamos una experiencia paralela tocando fundamentalmente tango y algo de folkclore en diversos lugares. En el año 1973 conocí a Luis Salinas; más tarde tuve la posibilidad de grabar con Enrique Espinosa; tambíen junto a Juanjo Dominguez y el Chango Nieto; fuimos participes del último programa de Edmundo Rivero para la television argentina en 1982. Fueron tres temas con el quinteto de guitarras: los tangos "Por ella" y " En un feca" y la milonga "El último viaje", en los cuales toqué el guitarrón. En el año 1984, junto a mi hermano y Domingo Lainez, acompañé a Hugo del Carril. Ese mismo año compartí escenario con el Cuarteto Colangelo (Nestor Marconi, Julio Pane, Fernando Romano y José Colangelo) y conformé el Cuarteto UB Tango (Universidad de Belgrano) junto a Orlando Gomez, Lucho Repetto y Tito Farías. Desde 1998 integro el conjunto de Adriana Varela, con el que hemos realizado giras por América y Europa: Roma, Atenas, París, Lisboa, Madrid, Londres, Barcelona, entre otras. Grabé "Tango en vivo" y el dvd que lo acompaña. Recientemente contribuí en la grabación de su último trabajo "Encaje". Por otro lado, hace unos años, grabé con Luis Salinas "Música Argentina" Vol. 1 y 2, que fuera ganador del Gardel al Mejor albúm de Folkclore. He tenido la suerte de participar en la grabación de otros proyectos musicales tales como de: Nicolás Ledesma Cuarteto con la compañía de Horacio Romo y Quique Guerra y la participación de Leopoldo Federico; Juan Vattuone; Dúo Fuertes Varnerín; Ángel Cárdenas; Nestor Soler; Beto Solas; Gustavo Shujman; Celeste Carballo; Tati Penna; Miguel de Caro; Oscar Mangione, entre otros. Entre Enero y Febrero del 2005 grabé mi primer cd llamado "Tango Explícito" para el sello Mutis. Allí, junto a mi hermano Carlos Avilano y Mariano Olivera, di testimonio del afecto que siento por nuestra querida música ciudadana.

His respect for the essence of the genre and his technique remind us of the way of playing of the old masters. He began to study guitar at age 12 with Emilio Solas. Four years later he was playing with his uncle, Héctor Arbelo. The latter was the one who recorded with Julio Sosa. Those were years of worthwhile learning that he recalls affectionately like the places and events alongside great stars such as: Floreal Ruiz and Rodolfo Lesica. By that time, together with his brother Carlos, he was also tasting a parallel experience by playing, mainly, tango and a bit of folk music at different venues. In 1973 he was acquainted with the virtuoso guitarist Luis Salinas with whom he later collaborated in the recording of the volumes 1 and 2 of the compact disc “Música Argentina”. This release was awarded the Premio Gardel as the Best Folk Music Album. He also had the chance to record with Enrique Espinosa. Later he did it alongside another great artist: Juanjo Domínguez and the folk singer Chango Nieto. Furthermore, with them he appeared in the Edmundo Rivero’s last program for the Argentine television in 1982. They played three numbers with a guitar quintet: the tangos “Por ella”, “En un feca” and the milonga “El último viaje”. On that occasion he played a guitarrón (a guitar tuned lower than the regular one). In 1984 with his brother and the guitarist Domingo Láinez he accompanied Hugo del Carril. That same year he shared the stage with the Cuarteto Colángelo (Néstor Marconi, Julio Pane, Fernando Romano and José Colángelo) and was member of the Cuarteto UB Tango, of the Universidad de Belgrano, along with Orlando Gómez, Lucho Repetto and Tito Farías. Since 1998 he is member of the Adriana Varela’s backup group with which he has made tours of the American continent and Europe. With the popular female singer he recorded “Tango en vivo” and a DVD of the recording session. He also contributed for Adriana’s latest recording, “Encaje”. He was sideman in the recordings of many artists: with the Nicolás Ledesma Quartet, along with Horacio Romo and Quique Guerra showcasing the special appearance of Leopoldo Federico as guest artist; with Juan Vattuone; with the Fuertes-Varnerín vocal duo; with Ángel Cárdenas; with Néstor Soler; with Beto Solas; with Gustavo Shujman; with Celeste Carballo; with Tati Penna; with the group led by the saxophonist Miguel de Caro; with Oscar Mangione. Between January and February 2005 he cut the first disc with his trio, called “Tango Explícito”, for the Mutis label. In this recording he, together with his brother Carlos Avilano and Mariano Olivera, evidences the love he has for our beloved city music. This young maestro, an example of humility, remembers with love and thanks those who accompanied him in his career. And so chatting with him the names of the following artists spring up: Roberto Pansera, Nelly Vázquez, Argentino Ledesma, Eduardo “Chino” Corti, Carlos Galván, María Graña, Marily Machado, Josefina Lichiardi, Cuarteto Fierro, Bernardo Baraj, Marcelo Macri, Walter Castro, Orquesta del Tango de Lomas de Zamora.
