Press cuts
"...the tango modernizes itself and keeps up with the times thanks to the couple comprised
of the singer Mariel Martínez and the guitarist Alejandro Picciano...”
(El País, November 2008)
"Seeking its own personality in something such as difficult as to reinterpret the tango
classics, they come off very well, courageously and squandering emotion”.
(Revista Efe Eme, January 2009)
"The “jazzy” Tango, the warmth that renews Buenos Aires music”
(Sí, se puede, December 2008)
"Beautiful journey around Buenos Aires tango”
(El Confidencial, October 2008)
“...suggestive signs of identity distinguish their versions from the originals...”
(Aragón Música, January 2009)
"...a “tango” proposal that transcends genre imposed restrictions...”
(El Comercio Digital, January 2009)
"...almost naked: just the splendid voice of Mariel Martínez accompanied by the guitar of
Alejandro Picciano, steeped in jazzy echoes. The violin and the bandoneon accompanied a
few songs, and there is no need for much more in order to enjoy this highly recommended
record.”

"This passionate duo goes deep into Buenos Aires most classic roots, with songs such as
«Melodía de arrabal», «Tinta roja», «Como dos extraños», «Malena», «Oro y plata»,
«Soledad» o «Vuelvo al Sur» that sound as discovery. Jazzy echoes and imaginable walks
around other styles – folklore or rock music that these musicians have gone through- they
reinforce themselves without refill and with natural nostalgia with an electric violin and
a bandoneon, keeping the touch of the exquisite improvisation”
(La nueva España, January 2009)
HISTORY
She started her singing studies at the Music Conservatory 'SADEM' (Argentine Trade
Union of Musicians). At the same time, she started the instrumentist career in tango
guitar at the Popular School of Music of Avellaneda, where she studied until her arrival
in Spain. During those years she studied guitar technique in charge of the maestro
'Chocho' Ruiz and also consolidated her study and interpretation of tango taking
particular lessons with the singer Patricia Andrade. In Buenos Aires she formed a tango
duo and sang as a soloist in a quartet of Argentine folklore. Since their residency in
Madrid, Mariel Martínez and Alejandro Picciano have been developing what it is finally
comprised in their first album called “De mi Barrio”, recorded in 2008, produced by Litto
Nebbia and published by Discos Melopea / Factory Author in October 2008. They mainly
tackle the Tango Song genre, although there are grate accents that distinguish their
versions from the original ones: a “jazzy” guitar, an electric violin and the so personal
performance which is created by the sum of musicians from different genres.
They also participate together with the theatrical group Primigenius in 'Cuentos, tangos
y tongos...así se llama la milonga' (stories, tangos and tongos...that is the name of the
milonga) and in the children’s show 'Canticuentos' (Singstories)
