PICHUCO, AN ARGENTINIAN DOCUMENTARY BY MARTIN TURNES, 2014
FOLLOWED BY A DEBATE WITH DENISE ANNE CLAVILIER

A hundred years ago, on 11 July 1914, a key figure in the history of the tango and Argentinian music was born in Buenos Aires: Aníbal Troilo, known as Pichuco.
This documentary takes us on a journey through his work and what it represents today.

Javier Cohen, a musician and teacher at the Avellaneda School of Popular Music (a famous institute in a working-class suburb of Buenos Aires) is presently digitizing the 489 original arrangements that have reached us. The documentary starts from this task of recovering the scores and, through interviews with contemporary musicians and in dialogue with current musical genres of Argentina (folk music, rock, jazz and tango), he prepares an analysis of all Troilo’s work.

This film is in Spanish with English sub-titles.

The film will be followed by a debate with Denise Anne Clavilier of the National Tango Academy of Argentina, coordinator of the Aníbal Troilo Centenary in France and author of several books on Argentinian culture and music.
