Dario Acosta Teich’s masterful guitar technique serves an endlessly imaginative musical mind. He has spearheaded jazz ensembles, composed for orchestras, and improvised with jazz icons such as William Parker and Mike Stern, all while cultivating his deep Latin American roots. He has collaborated and performed with Argentine greats, including Pipi Piazzolla, Franco Luciani, Quique Sinesi, Nahuel Pennisi, Juan Falu, and Ernesto Snajer. He has also explored a world of other sounds, playing with everyone from Garifuna icon Aurelio Martinez to Tim Ries, long-time brass player with The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Donald Fagen, and more. Dario, as a solo performer and as part of groups and ensembles, has appeared at major festivals and key venues in 16 countries around South America, North America, the Middle East, West Africa and Europe. He has released five albums and contributed to countless others as an engineer, producer, and musician. Currently based in New York City, his latest release is FOLKLORE, an experimental jazz tour of Argentina’s varied sonic regions. On FOLKLORE, Dario presents his homeland in new sounds based on age-old rhythms and contexts, some pensive, some festive, but all fresh. For this exploration, Dario gathered a group of trusted players, including Leo Genovese, Julio Botti, Franco Pinna, Pablo Aslan, Moto Fukushima and Fernando Huergo, and invited several special guests such as world renowned artists Jaques Morelenbaum, Mike Stern, and Zach Brock
