Buenos Aires is like saying I am from here, or something ties me to this city. I feel very good, I love it. Besides, for us, for the Spanish people, Buenos Aires is the Latin American New York. I have the feeling, and mind you I travel a lot, but this happens to me with Buenos Aires, this feeling that I could live here. Psychologically speaking, yes, there is a lot of similarity with Madrid.
"We have put together a very interesting repertoire, including songs that everyone is going to know, and we dare to perform very well-known songs, like 'Alfonsina y el mar' or 'Garganta con arena', he added about his show.
Furthermore, Ángel Ruiz revealed to the Argentine News Agency that he has a very close bond with Buenos Aires, since he was there last year: "What connects me is the love I have for that city, which I adore. But it also has something very specific, very American. I think it's because of the people, because people make cities. I know many Argentines, my teachers here in Spain have been Argentines. That is, I have a lot of Argentine musical culture as well. But of course, I had never been until four years ago, which was the first time".
"I really discovered something very new. Because Buenos Aires is also a very European city. And in such a short time I made very good friends, very good friends. I wanted to go so much that when they offered me this, I said yes with my eyes closed. It's very beautiful. It's an opportunity to go again, because well, I also have projects for next year".
Buenos Aires, December 10 (NA) – Ángel Ruiz arrives in Argentina to present a single performance of "Susurros de Ida y Vuelta" at the Teatro Picadero, after having received a Hugo Award in 2022 for "Best One-Person Show" for his work "Miguel de Molina al desnudo".
As the Spanish actor, singer, author and director told the Argentine News Agency, the new show "is a tribute recital to Spanish and Argentine songs, which is a repertoire that I have put together from those songs that have always touched me and that have reached me and that I want to show and give to the Argentine public".
"And people who connect me, as a friend of mine says, a red thread. There is something that connects me and I feel like family. I mean, because of the theatrical and musical scene that is here".
"I will put together a very mixed repertoire, very from both cultures and besides we are going to do a mix because I am going with Bru Ferri, who is my pianist, and what he has done is to flamenco-ize the tango and to tang-ify the flamenco, we have fused the two things that fit perfectly", Ruiz detailed.
"I didn't think it would surprise me so much for the better. Which makes me very happy", he assured.
Ángel Ruiz has projects in Buenos Aires for 2026: "I will be here for a good season, which also makes me very happy".
