Biography

Los Visconti, originally known as Los Hermanos Visconti, were twin brothers Abel and Víctor Visconti from Coronel Dorrego, Buenos Aires, who began their musical journey in the early 1950s, drawing on romantic and emotive interpretations of valsecitos criollos. Their breakthrough came in 1974 when they performed at the prestigious Cosquín Festival and achieved national fame with their heartfelt delivery of Andean-inspired folklore. Throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, they released a succession of studio albums—including Un solo corazón (1975), Abriendo huellas (1976), El cantar de Los Visconti (1978), Tú y mi guitarra (1979), and Valsecitos (1982)—building a reputation as “the Kings of the Valsecito Criollo.” The duo’s romantic songs such as “Dorreguero y payador,” “A Coronel Dorrego,” “Bahía Blanca,” “Mamá vieja,” “Andate,” and “Paisaje colombiano” resonated deeply across Latin America, particularly in Colombia and the wider folk music community. After Víctor’s death in April 2005, Abel honored his brother with Homenaje a mi hermano (2006), featuring the moving tribute “Adiós hermano.” He continued to perform under the name Los Visconti, teaming up with singer Hernán Corvalán for albums like 2012's Para el Mundo (En Vivo). In 2021 and 2022, Abel re-recorded some of the group's biggest hits on the album Duos Que Llevo en el Alma y el Corazón Vol. 1 & 2, which featured a cover of the classic tango "Yira Yira."
