Manuel Matarrita is one of the most active Costa Rican pianists, as a soloist and collaborative musician. This program offers a short but significant tour throughout some dance genres present in the piano repertoire of Latin America, shown here in works by authors from Colombia, Venezuela, Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Curaçao and Costa Rica. Some of the rhythms recreated in these compositions, such as the waltz, certainly emanated from the European tradition, but they are musically colored with a particular way of expression, different in each country. Other regions, such as Argentina, offer a vast and inexhaustible spectrum of native and peculiar rhythms. The recital will also include an original composition (“Desvaríos sobre La Botijuela”), which is a tribute to this Latin American tradition of piano dances and some of its most recognized exponents.
