Jonatan Alvarado

Hi there! My name is Jonatan Alvarado and I'm a singer and player of (very) old songs, be them contained by medieval and renaissance manuscripts scattered all over the world, or found in the oral traditions of Europe and the Americas. My interests are fairly eclectic and comprise quite disparate projects - from the recovery of the medieval archive of the Cathedral of Tui to the folksongs of Early 20th century Argentina - always under the common denominator of working from historical sources and using historically inspired instruments and techniques. I'm the director and co-founder of the Ensemble Seconda Prat!ca, dedicated to renaissance and early baroque Latin American music. I'm also a member of Da Tempera Velha, Sollazo Ensemble and Concerto di Margherita, and I sing regularly with lutenist Ariel Abramovich. I have had the privilege of performing all around the world, and in some of the most important European stages and festivals, from the Abbey of Royaumont, to the Bimhuis Amsterdam, through the Vienna Konzerthaus. My first solo CD, "Pajarillos Fugitivos" (Ayros 2018) was nominated for the International Classical Music Awards. My latest album, together with extraordinary guitarist and fellow researcher Samuel Diz, "El Mal de l"Amor: the Songbook of Gustavo Durán" will be out on February 13th. Thank you for passing by! I Hope you like the music I have put out so far and stay around for the tracks to come.
