| About Tito Castro |
|
Hector Castro was born in the town of 9 de Julio in the province of Buenos Aires. At age three, his family moved to the neighborhood Villa Pueyrredon in the capital. He began his bandoneon classes and general music education at age 14 with Eladio Blanco, who was the first bandoneon in the D’Arienzo orchestra. A few years later, Tito began his professional career playing with neighborhood orchestras like Horacio Vacarezza’s and Marcos Bagnolo’s. At age 18 he started playing in the Osmar Maderna Orquesta, Simbolo, where he stayed for three years. He continued with the Lucio Demare’s and Fulvio Salamanca’s orchestras and substituted bandoneon players ir Hector Varela and Juan Sanchez Gorio.
He has accompanied in two occasions the Argentine folk singer Mercedes Sosa at Carnegie Hall and tenor Placido Domingo at the Washington Opera and the Metropolitan Opera House in NY.
Tito toured Japan and Hawaii in 2004 and 2005 with Japanese tango singer Anna Saeki, with whom he has also performed at Carnegie Hall and at the famous jazz club Blue Note in NYC. Recently he participated in the recording of her new CD, which was presented to the audiences in Japan and Korea tour in December of 2005.
