Walter Ríos

Walter Ríos is an Argentine bandoneón virtuoso keeping tango's golden age spirit alive while pushing boundaries into new territories. This Buenos Aires-based musician carries the legacy of legends like Astor Piazzolla and Aníbal Troilo (both prominently honored in his recent tributes *Aeropuerto París* and *Celebra a Troilo*) through fiery live performances and collaborative projects. Whether riffing on noir-tinged film scores in *Soundtracks* or reinventing classics with trumpeter Fernando Tarrés, Ríos balances technical mastery with raw emotionality – a trademark heard in his *El Arte Del Bandoneón* series. His globe-trotting energy shines through recordings like *Live In Hong Kong* with singer Mariel Dupetit, proving tango remains thrillingly alive in the 21st century. When not touring, Ríos channels his passion into curious experiments like *Luciérnaga Curiosa*, blending tradition with contemporary spark.
