Tango Argentine
is born of a collective fascination with tango music of Argentina.
The group started in 2003 playing mostly traditional tangos written
for dancing but quickly progressed to performing concerts and
milongas in the tango circuits of Europe.
They have recorded two albums; the first entitled ‘Derecho Viejo’ in
2004 contained recordings of dance style pieces and their second
album ‘Travesia’ released in 2007 explores the more contemporary
side of tango music today.
Their choice of repertoire includes great works by Astor Piazzolla,
Gustavo Beytelmann, Alejandro Schwarz, Rodolfo Mederos, Osvaldo
Pugliese and Anibal Troilo.
They have travelled widely together, so far touring Holland,
Belgium, France, Scotland, England, Switzerland and Germany, have
been aired on Classic FM and performed in the Watch This Space
Festival 2007 and Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2008. They will be
touring to Denmark in the summer.
Tango Argentine
aims to demystify and to open up a new path for those
who have not had the opportunity to discover how this rich and
fascinating tango music is relevant to modern life. It is the music
of the city, filled with all the energy and emotions that burn in
the heart of all heaving capitals. |
