Tango's forgotten visionary Eduardo Rovira comes alive in SONICO's new cinematic performance, blending music, light, and video art into a multimedia experience.
SONICO is a Brussels-based ensemble founded in 2015, dedicated entirely to the music of Argentine composer Eduardo Rovira (1925-1980) - one of the two pioneers of avant-garde tango alongside Astor Piazzolla, yet largely forgotten after his death. The group has spent a decade digging through archives and reconstructing lost scores, transcribing over 70 works, and presenting them in staged concerts that weave together live music, video art and narrative. Their debut album (2018) entered Billboard's top 10 tango albums of the year, and Rolling Stone named them one of the essential groups for the renewal of modern tango.
SONICO premiered a tango-symphonic program with the Brussels Philharmonic at BOZAR, Brussels, on 7 March 2026.
The staged concert 'THE FUTURE WAS TODAY' - built around the fifth album ROVIRA 100 - had its world premiere at the Strombeek Cultural Center in Grimbergen, Belgium, on 20 November 2025.
SONICO recorded their fifth studio album, ROVIRA 100, live in Buenos Aires during their April 2025 Latin American tour, which included a performance at the Teatro Colón.
The Buenos Aires city legislature declared SONICO's archival recovery work of cultural heritage interest, following a motion by legislator Alejandro Grillo.
SONICO released their fourth studio album 'Five, Six, Seven, Eight...' at BOZAR Brussels in January 2024, followed by a major European tour including the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and Philharmonie Luxembourg.
