Alfredo Marcucci

musician, bandoneon player

Alfredo Marcucci began playing bandoneón at a very early age under the guidance of his uncle, the renowned bandoneón-player Carlos Marcucci, and developed his feeling for tango in the Buenos Aires of the thirties.

At eight years old he played for the famous tango composer Julió De Caro who lavishly praised the virtues of this young talent and took him as his pupil.

He was invited to join the Julio de Caro orchestra at 18, together with his uncle. This was to be the beginning of a brilliant career. He also played in many other orchestras: Raúl Camplún, Osvaldo Donatto, Enrique Pranccini, Juan Canaro, etc.

In 1956 he joined the famous Carlos di Sarli orchestra with which he made many recordings.

Up to now, he still plays with Los Paraguayos, Tango Al Sur, Sexteto Veritango, Trio Veritango and in other loose formations. He also gives workshops in Sweden, Germany and France, teaching young people how to play Tango...
