CABELLERA
Two great piano exponents in Mexico, two styles, two musical languages, two temperaments that face each other ... in a wrestling Ring !!!
Alberto Cruzprieto, with the classical technique, the discipline, the precision, the interpretative sensitivity, he is faced in a duel in the purest style of wrestling in Mexico, to the freedom of improvisation, of exploration, of the creativity of Hector Infanzón, who is undoubtedly the rude guy.
Between breakers, keys and ringlets, they invite us to a journey through one of the most deeply-rooted traditions of humanity, face-to-face confrontation, now piano to piano, where they intertwine one another in their styles to converge on an idea: Music is a shared language and the game is the foundation of creation.
Press excerpts:
"The Esperanza Iris Teatro De La Ciudad was filled with color, a lot of shouting, hustle and endless rough and technical
movements, with two outstanding pianists such as Héctor Infanzón and Alberto Cruzprieto, who offered the concert, Máscara vs cabellera , Without limit of musical notes , high-rise and with many funny parts, there was the presentation of two musical stars, "El Cruz Prieto" and "El Infant Son", who for more than an hour and fifteen minutes delighted both locals and strangers.
At the end they received a standing ovation, very few concerts like this one are given in our country ".

CITADINO
"Going out to face life, respond to each of the situations and circumstances that arise, that is improvising, creating a day. " For Héctor Infanzón, this is precisely the meaning of being a Citadino, a way of living, a way of creating ourselves and thus testifying about the time we had to live.
Going out, seeing, observing, remembering and imagining beyond what is presented to us at first sight, living the city, recognizing the places, their inhabitants and resignifying them, is what gives rise to the Citadino show, the interpretation about the facts that lived in Mexico City.
The Citadino show is undoubtedly a manifesto of our time and our identity, which shows in the national and international scenes of the daily history that our generations have lived and that now is presented in a format that includes other artistic expressions that complement it speech, and where creators of the visual and scenic arts of recognized prestige participate, which has surprised and enjoyed the audience. Unifying them, is what gives rise to the Citadino show, the interpretation about the facts that lived in Mexico City.
Press excerpts:
"Alongside musicians, actors and visual artists on stage, they produced a show that toured the sounds of downtown Mexico City with the intention of paying tribute to it. "Goodnight. Welcome to the heart of the great Tenochtitlan. Welcome to downtown, the heart of the great Mexico City "were the words that served as a preamble to listen to the notes produced by an organ grinder who went through the concert hall to get on stage and give the courier to the city music of Hector Infanzón" .
