Sun Sept 1: 2-4 -- Tango in the Square: Tangonero - Dj,
Dance Lesson with Bay Area Argentine Tango Association
With members from Russia, Malaysia, South Korea, and the
US, Tangonero is a San Francisco ensemble dedicated to preserving the tradition
of Argentine Tango.
From the folk styling of Roberto Grela to the jazz
infused grandeur of Astor Piazzolla, their arrangements cover the broad scope
of tango history. Overflowing with intense passion, lust and sorrow, their
performance captures the fire of the dance and the essence of a culture.
Tangonero was awarded the CMC Shenson Award for their
original stage production Malena, in collaboration with Argentine vocalist
Claudio Ortega and dancers Count Glover and Chelsea Eng. They have performed at
numerous festivals including Portland ValenTango, San Francisco Tango Xchange,
Boston Tango Festival, Cotati Accordion Festival, and have shared the stage
with Grammy Artists Jeremy Cohen and Pablo Aslan. In 2009 they released their
first album, La Yumba, and their most recent album Mala Junta was released in
the Fall of 2015. They continue to perform throughout the United States in both
dance and concert halls.
