We are facing a pure experience, a tango with open veins…since Scofano, with his bandoneón, doesn’t interpret the tango, he interprets the secret codes embedded in tango... he is unique in the world. On the other hand, Alfredo Minetti is a concert pianist who transits with incredible easiness before the complex interpretive pathways of tango. 
PRENSA RICINTO UNIVERSITARIO DE MAYAGUEZ

Duo Scofano Minetti
