1st Baltic Tango Show
Jan 4th
30 March 2012 (19:00), Kekava, Latvia
Special guests: Diana del Valle & Juan Camerlingo, Argentina
For the first time a show performance of “Tango Argentino” will be produced and performed by tango dancers and musicians from Latvia and its neighboring countries. With this performance we want to introduce you to classical Argentinean tango music from its “golden age” (20ies – 40ies) and some examples of contemporary tango music, for example by the famous composer Astor Piazolla. The dancers will perform “Tango de Salon” – classical tango dance – in solo and group settings and not a theatre performance with a script. The Latvian tango quartet “Undertango” will play live music.
As special highlight we have invited Diana del Valle and Juan Camerlingo from Argentina (dianayjuan.com), a world-class couple of professional tango dancers with an exceptional aura – we are sure you will be fascinated by them!
