Tango Dominguero de Buenos Aires aims to recreate the style of the first tango ensembles of the early 20th century by offering a wide repertoire of tangos, milongas and waltzes.
The timbre and color of its three instruments - flute, bandoneon and guitar - take us to the source, to the very heart of the beginning of the history of tango. Historians date the creation of tango to before 1880. It was a period of European immigration to Argentina. It was this mixture of diverse origins that gave birth to tango music. Later came the bandoneon, which forever changed the face of tango with the fame that still surrounds it today. This era is known as La Guardia Vieja (The Old Guard).
Musicians Martin López Muro on guitar, Alejandro Beresi on flute, and Pato Lorente on bandoneon are on their first Canadian tour. Buenos Aires singer María Luz Seferiades is the guest artist to perform the tango-chanson. The dance will be performed by Argentine choreographer Mara Graham, and the dancer Elías Navas.
A journey to the very heart of Buenos Aires not to be missed.
