Martin Alvarado
Buenos Aires
Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Martín Alvarado discovered his talent to sing at the age of 19 and is now world renowned and widely recognised as one of the most significant vocalists in the history of tango. Alvarado’s warm and sensitive tenor voice has been influenced from rock and pop as well as tango itself. He counts Stevie Wonder and former Deep Purple vocalist Glenn Hughes among his inspirations along with the late tango legend Ruben Juaraz who mentored Alvarado during the early days of his career.
In his twenties he travelled to Spain where he was spotted singing in the street in Barcelona and invited to perform in Finland, where tango is a national pastime. News of his talent quickly spread and within two months of arriving there, he was performing with the Tampere
Philharmonic Orchestra. He has since completed over 50 international tours, released 10 albums and performed as a soloist in many major theatres and music festivals around the world. These include the Kremlin Palace Concert Hall in Moscow, National Auditorium in Madrid, Maailmantangofestivaali in Tampere, Finland, Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival (Finland), Buenos Aires Tango Festival, Teatro Solís in Montevideo, Uruguay, Festival Internacional de Tango in Medellín, Colombia.
