Biography
Adrián Goizueta (1951â2026) was an ArgentineâCosta Rican composer, arranger, guitarist, and singer-songwriter best known for âCompañera,â a song he co-wrote with Argentine composer Luis Salinas and performed for decades as a central piece of his repertoire. Born in the San Telmo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, he left Argentina in 1977 amid the military dictatorship and settled in San José, Costa Rica, where he combined teaching with performance work and quickly began developing a hybrid stage language that moved between canción de autor, tango, folklore, jazz, and orchestral writing. In 1978 he mounted an early theatrical-concert project, then in 1979 he founded the Grupo Experimental (often billed as Adrián Goizueta y el Experimental), a long-running ensemble through which he tested unusual instrument combinations and large-format shows that blended classical and popular forces. Across the following decades he built a broad discography (often described as more than twenty albums by the early 2010s), toured internationally, and shared stages and collaborations with major Latin American singer-songwriters, including Silvio RodrÃguez and Mercedes Sosa, while also recording duets with artists such as VÃctor Heredia, Luis Enrique MejÃa Godoy, Luis Eduardo Aute, Tanya Libertad, and Jairo. In the 2000s and 2010s he continued issuing albums under his own name and with the Experimental, including Dúos del Alma (2005), Soy de San Telmo a San José (2013), Tangoizueta (2016), and later sets like and Será Futuro (2018), and he closed his recording career with the live-focused project Dúos Del Alma (En Vivo) (2025). Adrián Goizueta died in San José on January 5, 2026, at age 74.
