Álvaro Fe (charango/vox)

Álvaro Fe offered to this assembly two areas of absolute expertise: his voice as pure instinct and the charango as pure passion. His voice he manipulated like silk, but he did so with the fervor of a skin disease. The true splendor of his musicality was enveloped almost entirely in the charango. Indeed, as the story goes, Álvaro often refused to sing unless he was able also to play his charango. Álvaro’s main obsession was comic books. Besides collecting whatever he could get his hands on, he also penned his own serial about a young Latino man with a goatee and a widow’s peak named Stealth Magnum who charangoed women into bed.
