Alvaro Rosso

Moved by an interest for Uruguayan popular music and jazz, he began playing the electric bass, but soon turn into the double bass. So he began his studies at the University School of Music of Montevideo, making contact with classical music and the basic technique of the instrument. The interest in learning and deepen the knowledge of tha double bass takes him to France, where he continues his education. There, he begins to take an interest in contemporary language and free improvisation having classes with professors like Stephan Olvia or Jean-Marc Foltz. Once a master's degree in Spain focused in the contemporary repertoire, extended techniques and experimentation, he moves to Portugal, where he currently resides.
