The exotic sounds and moves of Tango Buenos Aires are coming to San Antonio.
Rosario Bauza is the Director of Tango Buenos Aires. Their show tells the story of Eva Peron, but through music and dance.
“The singer is Lucia Alonzo, and the music is original for the show. We have two instruments—two bandoneons, the typical instrument for the tango, and a violin.”
The Bandoneon is the accordionlike instrument associated with Tango (hit "Listen" above to hear it).
Bauza says that Tango is at the same time both romantic and melancholic.
“It’s melancholic for one way and it’s romantic another way because it’s the only one dance where you need two persons to dance together. Modern Latin-American dance are gorgeous, very good. But you can dance alone.”
She says Tango is always danced together. Closely. And with heart.
“If you don’t have heart, you don’t have nothing. And for that reason, it is romantic.”
Tango Buenos Aires performs Saturday night at the Carver Cultural Center. We’ve more here.
