shared this Monday morning the Consecration prize awarded by the 63rd Cosquín National Festival
.
Fuentes, the former leading voice of
Los Huayra
, sang the Argentine National Anthem with Jairo on the opening night and then gave a celebrated concert with which he had revenge for his 2022 performance in the rain and received the award shouting "Long live folklore ".
While
Destino San Javier offered a show laced with female screams
on Wednesday night, which ended with
Paolo Ragone, Franco Favini and Bruno Ragone
, its creators, singing in the audience of Plaza Próspero Molina.
Juan Fuentes and Jairo, in a memorable joint performance.
Far from Cosquín, they greeted through a recorded video where he stressed:
"This is the award that every folklorist wants to have and we are already in the history of the Festival."

Sergio Fasoli
(Revelation),

and the Camin Award for career path to

The night of Abel Pintos
With Abel Pintos closing 25 years of history in style at the Cosquín National Festival, the 63rd native art event closed with three other notable performances:
Néstor Garnica, Lucía Ceresani and Franco Luciani
.
From one end of the night to the other,
Cosquín exhibited the aesthetic and thematic breadth that he is capable of hosting to the delight of an audience
that is as prone to partying as it is to listening.
The winners of a Festival that is already preparing its 64th edition for 2024.
And if
Pintos ratified his power of convocation and the bearing of a show of international scope,
the almost entirely instrumental opening of the violinist Garnica, followed by the heartfelt southern pulse of Ceresani and
the versatility of the Luciani harmonica that has already left its mark on music popular
, gave away a very high-flying opening.
At the edge of 2 in the morning, the composer and singer from Bahia had a markedly balladistic and pop start where he chained
Your voice, Together, Mirror, Here I wait
for you and
How I miss you.
And just after bathing in those first ovations, he expressed: "It is a privilege to be able to celebrate 25 years of singing in this Plaza. It is true that I have not done strictly folk music for many years, but
they let me continue having this space and that is something that I'm honored
. "
Speaking, Abel
asked for a round of applause for his brother Ariel
(guitarist of his band), who is also celebrating a quarter of a century in Cosquín and pointed out that although he does not like to dedicate his performances, this time he did it "with all our love to our parents and our dear brother Andrés" and also to "La Moro, a great composer from Salta who is fighting with all the strength that characterizes her".
And perhaps to be in tune for a while with the more general atmosphere of the meeting, he announced "the pleasure of being able to bring traditional music to the stage together with a singer who moves me a lot and whose name is Lucía Ceresani" whom he summoned to share
Stephanie
, by Alfredo Zitarrosa.
Juan Fuentes was one of the two Consecration prizes of the 2023 edition of the Cosquín festival.
The Voice newspaper.
With another twenty pieces that
ended around 4 in the morning
, Pintos sang proven classics from his repertoire (
Pending Matters, One Hundred Years, Revolution
and
I Made Her Cry
, among them).
Franco Sunday
Franco Luciani seduced those who populated the mythical Plaza Próspero Molina.
The beautiful trilogy from the beginning of Sunday was completed with the artist from Rosario Franco Luciani, who at the head of an exceptional trio (Leonardo Andersen on guitar), Pablo Motta on double bass) and Bruno Resino on percussion) found an original way of putting into dialogue its 20 years of activity with the tribute to folklore greats.
Ductile and inspired, and more attached to the harmonica than to singing
, in his performance he chained exceptional passages paying tribute to Juan Carlos Carabajal (with the chacarera
Adiós que te va bien
), Aníbal 'Pichuco' Troilo and Elpidio Herrera.
But in Franco's palette there were more colors and dedications to
Raúl Carnota
and Tarragó Ros, before a finale full of dance couples to the rhythm of the chacarera
La sensiblera
, which he composed with Alejandro Szwarcman.
