Miguel Angel Varvello (born 13 March 1943 in Cañada de Gomez, Santa Fe Province, Argentina) is an Argentinian musician who plays and teaches the bandoneon. Early years He was only six years old when he discovered the bandoneon, it was love at first sight, and his family was then faced with the difficult task of finding him a small instrument, known as a bandoneon 3/4, so that he could begin his studies. His first teacher was Tito Aparicio. He never planned on a career as a musician, it merely happened. At the age of eight, he appeared as a soloist on radio stations LT2 and LT8 of the city of Rosario. Then, he began to work as a freelance bandeoneonist. He perfected his technique with Jose Bustamante and, like Anibal Troilo and Astor Piazzolla before him, he benefited from the influence of mythical Rosario Bandoneon player Antonio Rios. He also studied harmony, counterpoint and composition with Titi Rossi. Career Today he is a player with and exceptional technique, combined with his natural gift for discovering and illuminating the natural spaces in music. At 27 years old, moved to Buenos Aires, where he became one of the most sought-after bandoneon players on the tango scene, and played with many different groups, including the Jose Basso, Osvaldo Berlinghieri, Alberto Di Paulo, Carlos Lazari, Osvaldo Piro, Osvaldo Requena, Francisco Rotundo and Hector Varela tango orchestras. He also established his own groups, with which he performed extensively in the better known tango venues of Buenos Aires such as Michelangelo, Caño 14 and La Ciudad, and toured all over the world. He created Ensamble Trio (bandoneon, piano and bass), played duos with guitarist Jorge Labanca and, together with bandoneonist Lisandro Adrover, set up the revolutionary nonet Ensamble Porteño (flute, clarinet, two violins, two bandoneons, piano, bass and percussion). These groups mainly used Varvello's own arrangements and played and recorded many of his works. The albums Despertar en Buenos Aires (Ensamble Porteño, 1978), Momentos Inestables (Ensamble Trio, 1984) and Devenir (Duoo Varvello- Labanca, 1989) bear witness to his work of those years. He is currently a member of the orchestra accompanying the highly acclaimed show Forever Tango which has been staged the world over, including Europe, Japan and de U.S. In 2002, the famous company TESTIGO published "A magic instrument", where this exceptional artist, brings awareness of the uniqueness of this incredible instrument in classical music,
