TANGO JOURNEY
Silvia and Alberto will unravel the fascinating history of tango live on stage, weaving a narrative through its roots.
You'll discover how its pulse began in the late 1800s with the rhythms of African drums – a music born from the raw experiences of displacement, longing, and the fight for expression in the bustling, often challenging, early melting pot of Buenos Aires.
Just as diverse peoples forged a new identity and a path to freedom here in South Africa, so too did the untamed energy of the gaucho meet the melancholic longing of European immigrants, all fusing to create a unique music that perfectly expresses passion, sorrow, and the complex tapestry of the human spirit's journey through adversity.
From classic tangos to contemporary interpretations, enriching your appreciation for the genre's profound expressions of love, longing, and life, echoing the universal themes of perseverance and hope.
