They embody the music of tango in all of its forms from traditional to nuevo to post-nuevo and invites you to experience the different expressions of passion-sometimes charming, sometimes raw, but always seductive.

notes

Vancouver’s fabulous Tango Paradiso strips away the layers of time to recapture the original drama and danger of tango, and by unlocking its secrets, they create new steps for the dance in the modern world. Their latest release, Passion, points to this future. By adding many fine original compositions to the classic repertoire, they are changing the idiom and creating new possibilities that Astor Piazzolla may never have imagined.

Tango Paradiso has performed as a quartet in numerous festivals including the Printemps des Bretelles (Montreal) and the Vancouver International Jazz Festivals and has had the honour of performing with world renowned artists such as Coco Trivisonno (bandoneonist with Forever Tango), the internationally acclaimed ensemble Pink Martini, and legendary jazz vocalist Mark Murphy. In addition to their quartet concerts, Tango Paradiso presents an exciting program with symphony orchestra which has been drawing huge and diverse audiences to its lush repertoire.

“captures the drama of the musical form that began in bordellos and bars outside of Buenes Aires” –Vancouver Courier

“there was a charge of electricity in the air” –Windsor Star

"The musicianship here is first-rate, and the arrangements delightfully unpredictable. 'Passion'--4 stars" -Vancouver Sun

    We are a group of 6 fifth grade kids who are part of an Odyssey of the Mind team. Odyssey of the Mind is a school sponsored gifted and talented program in which kids solve a problem, create costumes, build a set, and create a play all without adult help. Our coach is just there to keep us safe and cooperative with each other. We downloaded your song, Hernando's Hideaway from iTunes. We would like your permission to use about 30 seconds of this in our State competition on April 18th. We took 3rd place in Regionals, are going to State and are aiming for World Competition if we do well in State! Please allow us to use the song for this non-profit competition. We need your written permission for this. You can contact our coach at kkolasa@mancelonaschools.org. Her name is Karen Kolasa. Thank you! Zac, Keegan, Belle, Cody, Valerie, and Harris
