Chúcara (Santiago Álvarez on harmonica, singer Alfredo Pittis, and bassist Willy González) are an Argentine trio that performs traditional music in a non-traditional configuration. The members have had successful international careers as soloists with a variety of groups and are active as educators in Argentina. 

From Buenos Aires, they sent us this electrifying version of the 1965 classic milonga "El conventillo," popularized by the orchestra of Aníbal Troilo.
