El Surco – A Benderly Concert Event

El SurCo is a musical collective that blends guitars, violin, charango, bombo, and vocal harmonies to bring to life chacareras, cuecas, chamamés, gatos, and other popular and folk stringed music traditions from Argentina, Chile, and surrounding regions. The word surco means groove in Spanish, and references the furrows where seeds are planted in agricultural fields. A musical term with a rural subtext that speaks to the landscape where many of these styles emerged and continue to thrive, El SurCo (or The Southern Collective) transports their listeners into the diverse and vibrant musical ecosystems of the Southern tip of the Americas.

El SurCo is composed of Maxi Larrea (guitar, vocals, bombo), Jennie Gubner (violin, vocals, bombo), Esteban Hernandez Parra (Viola, guitar, Percussion and vocals), and Diana Peralta (vocals, bombo).
