Martín Buscaglia, a musician from Uruguay, commemorated 30 years since the release of his album Llévenle with a concert at Sala Rondeau in Montevideo.

He performed the album’s songs in order, alongside newer material, backed by a band with an average age of 22.6. Buscaglia deliberately chose this younger group, including the band “La Sub 20” which reinterprets Uruguayan popular music, and his own daughter, Juana Buscaglia, to echo the youthful spirit of his early career.

The concert featured musicians who played with Buscaglia in the 1990s, including Paolo Buscaglia, Marcelo “Sapuca” Terra, and Vittorio Bacchetta. Towards the end of the performance, recordings of Horacio “Corto” Buscaglia, Martín’s father, and Rubén Rada, both influential musicians, joined the show through a speaker system during a rendition of “El Candombe de Marte.” Buscaglia’s music blends genres like reggae, candombe, funk, and rock, and he presented this range during the show.

He expressed a simple philosophy about music, stating that people should enjoy it, and believes his work remains fresh despite the increasing prevalence of commercial music and artificial intelligence.
