The name Jaime Torres might not sound familiar, but for aficionados of Latin music this virtuoso is a permanent fixture in the heavenly son of the South. The secret weapon of the Argentine is the charango, a tiny guitar able to enchant the Andes as well or better than the flutes: the sikus and the quena. The winds guide the virtuoso in this dance of the Americas where tango passion and Coplas melodies take their turns on the floor.

Duration: approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, no interval
