MIXX Concert Series: Tango Popularé
Tango Popularé covers all bases with sultry music, evocative dance, a cool venue, and new PopUp community-style dinner brought to you by Waters Fine Catering. The Tango Popularé program line-up features French and Argentinian tango ranging from world-renown tangos to an exciting Camarada premiere.
Astor Pantaleón Piazzolla was an Argentine tango composer and bandoneon player whose oeuvre revolutionized the traditional tango into a new style termed nuevo tango, incorporating elements from jazz and classical music. For many Argentinians, the original tango composer Carlos Gardel’s music embodies the soul of the tango style.
Join the Camarada artists, including Grammy Award-winning Sacha Boutros, and dress the part to pay homage the Gardel style, transported to Casablanca 1930s, from the traditional "Tango Uno" by Carlos Gardel, to accordion virtuoso Louis Fanucchi’s newest composition "Ecstasi."
Argentinian Music by Santaolalla, Subira, Ginastera, Piazzolla, and Louis Fanucchi will be performed by Sacha Boutros (voice), Beth Ross Buckley (flute), David Buckley (violin), Dana Burnett (piano), Fred Benedetti (guitar), Louis Fanucchi (accordion), Jeff Pekarek (double bass), Steve Haney (percussion, and Tango Alma (dance).
