TocaRuidos Ensemble (ARG/MX/BE/DK)
Carlos Passeggi belongs to a generation of musicians shaped by both the practice of popular genres (jazz, tango, folk) and formal academic training in composition and percussion. The TocaRuidos Ensemble was born from the need to bring those worlds together.”
Percussion is used in each piece not only for its rhythmic qualities but also for its melodic, harmonic, and timbral possibilities—embracing “noise” as part of this expressive exploration. Some compositions incorporate electronic elements, voices, and visual projections, creating a distinctive aesthetic that draws from Latin American roots, contemporary music, sound art, and video art.
On stage:
Carlos Passeggi (ARG) – percussion, vocals, visuals, electronics, composition
Gonzalo Villalba (ARG) – bandoneon, percussion, vocals, guitar
Juan Carlos Bonifáz (MX/BE) – percussion, vocals, composition
Fernando Massino (ARG/DK) – percussion, vocals, guitar
