SONICO, created in Brussels (Belgium) in 2015, has rescued the repertoire of Argentine composer Eduardo Rovira, often mistakenly considered ‘the other Astor Piazzolla’. However, Rovira, was a key composer in the creation of “new tango,” who made his own imprint during the Buenos Aires vanguard of the 1960s. In August 2018, SONICO presented their first album in Buenos Aires, "Eduardo Rovira: La Otr
a Vanguardia", the first recording made exclusively with works by Rovira. “Eduardo Rovira: Inédito e Inconcluso”, SONICO's second album (2020), is the result of an important undertaking, which has recovered fourteen pieces based on non-commercial manuscripts and recordings. In March 2021, SONICO celebrated the 100th anniversary of Astor Piazzolla’s birth with the avante-premiere of their upcoming third album, “Piazzolla - Rovira: The Edge of Tango” at the Klara festival,/BOZAR. “Piazzolla - Rovira: The Edge of Tango” includes, for the first time together, the music of the Octeto Buenos Aires (Piazzolla) and the Octeto La Plata (Rovira), key groups at the forefront of modern tango. The repertoire of this double album is made up of 16 works that not only recovers previously recorded, but lost, material (Piazzolla burned the scores; Rovira’s original scores were damaged by a flood), but also includes four previously unreleased pieces preserved in non-professional recordings.
