El Tango Rojo en la Faena


caught the Tango Rojo performance at la Faena... although we've been treated to Tango performances virtually every night, this ensemble at the Faena was superior in just about every aspect... there was a 7 piece band, with a virtuoso pianist, an upright bass player, a violinist, two vocalists, & two accordeon players. There were 5 couples, clad in multiple costumes, and over the course of a dozen performances they traced the evolution of the form from the docks of Buenos Aires to a more evolved vision of searing eroticism & mirrored grace... the show was in a really intimate little theater, that really accentuated all the little nuances of both the music and choreography... what a night...
