Argentine guitarist, composer, and bandleader Dario Acosta Teich makes music that merges contemporary jazz and Argentine folk. Like his homeland, his new album FOLKLORE extends from the Afro-Latin candombe of Rio de la Plata through the chacarera of the gauchos to Andean huayno using improvisation and experimental jazz to reconcile these sounds and a keen longing for home.

Directed by Dario Acosta Teich (guitar, vocals), musicians also include Fernando Huergo (bass), Franco Pinna (drums), Julio Botti (sax), Eleanor Dubinsky (vocals), and Alex Brown (piano/keys).
