Argentine accordionist Alejandro Brittes brings Chamamé to Dallas with his trio, offering a deep glimpse into a living tradition shaped by migration, memory, and regional identity—shared in the intimate setting of our shop

Chamamé is a traditional musical genre associated with northeast Argentina, southern Brazil, and Uruguay—a sound forged in the Jesuit Missions through the fusion of European Baroque and Indigenous Guaraní influences. Alejandro is an accordionist, composer, performer, and researcher with over 30 years dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of Chamamé

Alejandro’s personal connection to Chamamé runs deep. Though raised in Buenos Aires, his parents were from Corrientes—Chamamé’s spiritual homeland—and they worked tirelessly to keep the tradition alive in the capital

Chamamé shares a spiritual kinship with bluegrass in the United States. Both were shaped by rivers and migration, both born from European roots but transformed into regional folklore. Each balances technical virtuosity with emotional depth—chamamé with its accordion and bandoneon; bluegrass with its banjo. They speak in melodies that marry joy and sorrow, memory and movement
