The pianist breaks Berisso musical music schemes Argentina.
He played with Lidia Borda, Diego Schissi, Luis Salinas and Adriana Varela. Today is part of Hernán projects "Cucuza" Castiello y Julieta Laso. It also integrates the sextet Alto Bondi and cumbia band Platense cachitas Now!, all with a view desprejuiciado, in musical terms and gender.
Chords resound, cross the neoyorkina night. She lowers the top of the piano, takes a last sip of tea and a libertarian and full version of a swing impossiblethe fumanchero(Pablo Lescano) marks the end of the recording session. Then, from Brooklyn to Harlem: There are friends waiting.
Noelia Sinkunas carries a daily rhythm that is discovered, at least, rapid and loaded. It is logical: in recent years his name and quote reference must again time to think of a second generation of musicians and music of the tango that by dint of laborious handedness, beauty and musical desacartonamiento continues to open, expanding and, as well, putting in crisis the outlook.
She was born in Berisso just over thirty years ago. -The daughter and granddaughter Sinkunas guitarists came from Lithuania- that he learned from fifteen years to accompany, always from the piano. Much repertoire grilled, classic and not so much. Whole school. "Classic but expeditious.
There were many singers, Obviously everyone knew. There I understood a lot of harmony and incorporated much rare repertoire ". At thirteen came the familiar piano: means lower tone, the tuner recommended to leave it. "I learned to play in any key. Today happens to me: if I see half the song went to another tone, I move.
No one suffers, nobody knows. That is ex officio ". Noelia Her hair characteristic this time three colors: rubio, negro, a purplish wisps- speaks with a naturalness and a hint of wisdom surprising. A loquacity halfway between shyness and impudence. From primary to the Faculty everything was linked to music and education from public: School of Art Berisso, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Composition at the University. And while, At sixteen played instrumental progressive metal and tango.
And listening to cumbia. It is no wonder that during the briefing cite Lescano and Debussy, a Britney Spears y Napalm Death, Keith Jarrett and La Chicana, among others. "What I put into play is that: music need not be low-class or upper class: Music is music and it belongs to all, and all todes. I happened to present she is telling me `Noelia Sinkunas, as well as help you see toca'. Music is what moves me.
Anyone can come and if it touches me touches, It is done. I want to be increasingly on stage ". It is therefore common to start their recitals versionando, for example, "City of poor hearts" of Fito Paez or "Badly" ofRosalia. After a few years, tanguero finish the tour de La Plata The next step was Buenos Aires: "I met kids my age who composed, They thought and armed their own orchestras. I blew his head.
Said: I want this!”. Just before his arrival in Buenos Aires was as pianist Alto Bondi. Remembers the day he auditioned: Finished learn and read some of the issues in the collective, coming to town. "I sent him lying half. Got a little left hand, I read the rest, I told a few jokes and longer.
'Te chistes' chose it for the good guys always get screwed ". The sextet is recording her third album and it finds in a time of change: singer Julieta Laso replaced the front of the Fernández Fierro (at once, Noelia also accompanies Laso) and now is Ivi Colonna (of sTEAK) Bondi's voice Alto.
"It is not binarie and trans. Positions us from elsewhere in the tango to open some things about dissidence and trans people ". The other group and collective leg part from its platenses brings years of college: there formed alongside other companions group cumbia Now cachitas!: pure danceable and tropical rhythm, ironic.
A definition that brings the group itself is "cumbia dissident and transfeminist". Noelia expands: "The second album is planted re from and trans gender struggle. In cachitas we are bisexual, transexual, lesbians, CIS men, CIS women. There are all in the band. We believe it should be well in the fight ". But: Tango always orbiting, there.
In 2018 he released his first solo album: Scenes look nothing. A minimum box, precious: she and her piano. And work very carefully from the sound. Eight instrumental pieces that are discovered on board and suggest some genera (classical music, false, contemporary, milonga) but above all the air that flies over tanguero. "Yes, I feel that tango is my house.
There is something, from the everyday that I find comfortable and quiet being there. After yes, everything else has required me more effort. I accompanied jazz groups, handling some such language but my comfort is in the tango ".scenes, nominated in recent Gardel Awards, It had its long process settling.
Bill: "I really enjoy playing but at times becomes necessary to find spaces and connect with a place to compose and understand what I want to do. And the album could close it when I took classes with Diego Schissi. For me to take classes is like going to a psychologist kind of music. I ordered some ideas. Agrupé, I dismissed and they were being handed out elements for each song of the album ".
You can think of lines, parallel edges (and earlier) a Sinkunas: the already appointed maestro Diego Schissi, Richard ', Maria Laura Antonelli, Agustin Guerrero. musicians, music, composers from and beyond their instrument are able to question certain things given in music.
In this case, what they call tango. "Eye, It is good to break certain patterns but even more know and understand why it is breaking or putting in crisis. Suddenly, but I come from the tango and I want to fuck, not bad. Sometimes certain conditions makes that we are not and we can not really make art ".
A Duna in New York. It is very unlikely that Fiat Duna in this metropolis has wandered ever. And she can not stop thinking about it as a possible title for his recent and still unreleased second album. "It has no name! Because it would tell, ¿no? But I do not know yet. If you think of anything, tell me. It's welcome".
He explains: "I was in New York, Julieta Laso, He was given the opportunity and was not going to miss. So I recorded all those songs: piano solo. I'm playing ". It's her. touching. Totally free, incontinent, playful and, especially, in a much more jazzy plan tanguero. Unexpected songs that they find their bone melodic and weapon disarms and: "Noches empty" Gilda, "The Tano Pastita" of Pibes Chorros, the so-called "hit of the summer" "MMLYQTP (fugue and prelude)”, "By a head", “Baby one more time” de Britney Spears, among others.
"It's much more given to the game. And later I thought: This new talks a lot about me. Music is music. It is noble in itself. Many times I had these discussions: If you hear such a thing you can not hear another. The music cohabit. All the time is that of the must be something. Sea tango, rock, cumbia; is being a man or woman.
Then I planted me from that place and my way of doing this is through music ". Shyness and brash? What if some of that can be found in his music. what if, wordlessly, that music is her welling. "Everything can live, never quite understood separations. Feminist make instrumental music. The pianos of this city are there and will occupy ". Yes, she is Noelia Sinkunas. And they do not know how to play.
