Episode 6: "Criollo" Hosted by: Jorge Barberini This episode explores the term "criollo" as a concept that refers to our roots, our sense of identity, and our folk music. It features the musical duo Criollo (@Duo_Criollo), comprised of Mauricio Castelao and Esteban Sarlenga, who share stories about their careers, their deep friendship of over 25 years, and their perspective on Argentine folk music. Main topics covered: Origin of the duo: The musicians recount how life and various trades (such as blacksmithing and psychology) connected them years ago, culminating in the formation of this project three years ago (3:12 - 4:56). The name "Criollo": They explain that they chose this name because it represents a concept that encompasses both of them, emphasizing the idea that "two are more than one" (2:06 - 2:35). Artistic approach: They highlight the importance of intuition and spontaneity when putting together their repertoire and performing live, valuing the emotional connection with the audience (18:29 - 19:47). Personal stories and music: They perform emblematic songs from their repertoire, such as "Guitarrero" by Carlos Di Fulvio (9:00 - 11:32). They discuss the influence of family experiences on their music, highlighting the song Esteban wrote about his grandfather's house in Tandil (25:36 - 27:40). They reflect on the evolution of music and how, despite technological changes, the value of emotion and tradition remains relevant (33:34 - 34:13). The meeting concludes by emphasizing the importance of friendship, generosity in music, and the satisfaction of sharing these stories in an intimate setting, similar to a kitchen chat.
