Fabián Carbone Tango Ensemble
European Tour 2012

Fabián Carbone Tango Ensemble brings to life the history of the River Plate region with a sonority as intimate as tanguística. The piano, the violin and the bandoneón, that are the bases of the typical orchestra, and unavoidable accomplices of the art of playing tango, introduce us to the Buenos Aires of the 20th century, where tango has developed to a level that allows it to be experienced by the audiences and venues of the whole world.
The fusion between the popular and the classic is present in his concerts where they play tango classics as El Choclo, Volver or La Cumparsita with Astor Piazzolla's music, which also takes elements of Bach, Stravinsky, Bartok and even some elements of jazz. In 2006 the project was initiated in order to recover the artistic inheritance of the golden decade of the Tango, during the 1940s when tango reached an interpretive maturity. |
