Born in Bahía Blanca, NAPOSTÁ creates instrumental music rich in a variety of styles and timbres. The repertoire focuses on original songs with folkloric roots that do not leave aside influences from jazz (Casualidades), candombe (Fatto in Bahía), rhythms from Brazil (O Bruxo) among others, playing with composition and improvisation as a single world. The arrangements of other authors are also present with the same imprint. Given the rhythmic and timbral diversity of the group, NAPOSTÁ has an interesting dynamic where new music is mixed with a unique flavor, seeking to reflect, as the name of the group indicates, an identity with the music of its city.
NAPOSTÁ CUARTETO has performed in various venues and cultural spaces in its city and the area, as well as in festivals and meetings. Among them we can highlight the 4th FISA VIVE Artistic Competition in 2014, as well as the 2nd Popular Music Meeting at the Municipal Theater, sharing the stage with Grupo Tabú and the Ernesto Snajer-Eduardo “Tiki” Cantero duo. Among their other participations is the 10th National Meeting of Independent Musicians in Bahía Blanca, where musicians of the stature of Franco Luciani, Joel Tortul and his group, among others, also participated. Another concert worth remembering is the one shared with Embichadero Dúo at Puentes Amarillos.
Among other cycles in which they have participated is the so-called “BANCA 25: La música pide la palabra” an initiative organized jointly by the Cultural Institute of Bahía Blanca and the Honorable Deliberative Council, where the musicians shared their projects with the community, performing their concert in the council building itself. Other presentations have taken place within the framework of cycles such as “Toco y me voy” carried out by the UMSUR, and the one organized by SADAIC at the Cultural Center of the Cooperativa Obrera.
Recently, they made their official presentation of the project “Buscando caminos” in the historic Municipal Theater with the participation of Pedro Giorlandini as a guest musician. Finally, the group has participated in educational spaces such as the Conservatory of Music of Bahía Blanca, the Municipal School of Music of Trenque Lauquen, the National University of the South, the “Che Bandoneón” festival, etc. Part of the material of their recent proposal “Buscando caminos”
