NEXT CONCERT: Saturday, 7th September 2024: Tango at its best TANGO SIEMPRE.
The UK's leading tango quartet are coming to Wensleydale ...
Tango Siempre has performed in many dance shows including the national tours of Tangomotion and Tango Encounters as well as appearing on BBC Strictly, ITV Surprise Surprise and other TV and Radio programmes.
Tango Siempre created the musical score for the Olivier-nominated “Midnight Tango” starring Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace (BBC Strictly Come Dancing), and gave nearly 500 performances in three UK tours and two West End runs to critical acclaim.
Their repertoire spans the whole range of Argentinian tango music from the Guardia Vieja via the Golden Age to the Nuevo Tango of Astor Piazzolla and the contemporary scene. All music is performed in our own arrangements and transcriptions, as well as original music by members of the ensemble.
“[Tango Siempre’s] playing has the verve and gut-wrenching rhythmic drive associated with the greatest Argentinian bands, and their account of the scores, especially marvels by Astor Piazzolla, has the earthy vitality, the urban chic, so central to tango’s music and steps… here is the tango, raw, intoxicating, speaking with its true voice.” – Financial Times
“a brilliant fusion of classical, tango, jazz and roots” – The Guardian
“A superb band…” – The Telegraph
“The band, the excellent Tango Siempre, play on stage, with taut rhythm and instrumentation.” – The Independent (review of Midnight Tango, 2012)
“simply electrifying… major virtuosity shines throughout” – The Scotsman
“intense, epic and beautiful” – Independent on Sunday
"Since forming in the late 90s they’ve done everything right; touring, commissioning new music and pushing the limits of the idiom, while delivering performances that have the verve and passion you might expect from, well, older, less British players." – The Guardian
