Tango Festival im Hauptbahnhof „Die Geräusche gehören dazu” in: Berliner Zeitung 22.08.2016, von Thomas Kröter
Contemporary Tango Festival in the center of Berlin Central Station. Dancing at midnight, creating a unique atmosphere in a magnificant urban place
“Tango was an immigrant music….so it does not have nationality. Its only password is feeling” (Carlos Gavito, legendary tango dancer 1942-2005)
Tango Argentino is a social dance based on improvisation and on alert and careful communication with the partner, thus creating this particular closeness and authenticity. Musically, the Tango is a mixed culture, born in the immigrant scene of Buenos Aires at the end of the 19th century around the Rio de la Plata with lots of European and African influences. The Tango Nuevo then became friends with jazz, the Electro Tango with the possibilities of electronic music, finally Neotango opened the Tango to all kind of Non-Tango and musical Experiments. There is Russian, Finnish and Turkish Tango and constantly the material is expanded and recombined.
