Frontal . Wernicke Duo

Popular Spanish and Argentine songs

This recital for baritone (José Julián Frontal) and guitar (Carlos Wernicke) explores the meeting point between music and poetry through Spanish and Argentine popular song. The programme moves between cultivated “popular” repertoire and classical song traditions—romances, nanas, jotas, sevillanas, habaneras, tangos, and milongas—framed as a theatrical, text-driven listening experience.

The selection includes works connected to Lorca, de Falla, Moreno Torroba, Guastavino, Gardel, and Piazzolla, shaping a concert that alternates intimacy, humour, and drama while keeping the guitar as an expressive partner rather than mere accompaniment. The dossier provides the full programme, artist bios, duration range, and technical rider.
