Enrique Bocaccio y Juan Gallino comienzan su carrera a temprana edad siendo muy jóvenes y todavía estudiantes en el Conservatorio Superior de Música “Manuel de Falla” de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.

La música los condujo por un largo camino a través de más de 40 años de trayectoria ininterrumpida por innumerables escenarios de la República Argentina, países limítrofes, Europa, y Canadá.

Varios maestros han influido en su formación: Abelardo Veiga, Eduardo Castañera, Miguel Ángel Girollet, Marta Norese, Alfredo Escande, Manuel López Ramos.

A lo largo de su carrera fueron galardonados en diferentes concursos musicales, entre ellos el 1er premio en el Concurso Nacional de Dúo de guitarras, Homenaje al Maestro Jorge Martínez Zárate en 1993.

Sus interpretaciones fueros plasmadas en diferentes Albums: Diálogos, Hecho a Mano, Café para Dos y 30 años Al toque.

En la actualidad siguen desarrollando una intensa actividad artística y permanente labor en la docencia especializada en clases privadas, instituciones de primer nivel y también en masterclasses.
 

We first met in 1975, while we were studying at the “Conservatorio Municipal de Música Manuel de Falla” in Buenos Aires, from which we graduated as Music teachers. We both attended the classes of a true guitar master, Abelardo Veiga, to whom we dedicate this work. A few years later, in 1979, we decided to embark on the adventure of forming a guitar duo. Then, we performed our first concerts and radio auditions, and we started touring the country. At the same time, and with the purpose of improving our performance, we took lessons with splendid teachers like Marta Norese, Eduardo Castañera, Abel Carlevaro and the unforgettable Miguel Ángel Girollet. We participated in several contests. Undoubtedly, the most outstanding one was the “Concurso nacional para dúo de guitarras; homenaje a Jorge Martínez Zárate”, sponsored by the “Secretaría de Cultura de la Nación” in 1993. On that occasion we were awarded the first prize.

Some time later, we made the initial recordings and presentations with orchestra. We also toured abroad, first within Latin America, and then the trip to Europe came true.

Along this road, we had the pleasure to meet many valuable people. Of all of them, we wish to specially mention Hugo Latti and Juan José Ramos, good friends of ours, who are no longer among us. This work contains some of their compositions.

The European tour made us realize how important it is to include more Argentine and Latin American compositions of a popular character in our repertoire.
