TANGO CANCIÓN: AN EVENING OF VINTAGE TANGO & ARGENTINE FOLK SONGS
11 May | 7pm
Allow yourself to be transported back to the golden age of tango song and vintage Argentine folk music with this rare UK appearance by Argentine tenor and Latin Grammy nominee, Leonardo Pastore.
Pastore is widely considered the greatest tango singer of the 21st century. With a disarming voice of confoundingly simultaneous power and tenderness, he cultivates a unique singing style which draws on the original roots of Tango Canción, inspired by the great tango singers of the '30s and '40s.
This irresistible programme features enduring and venerated hits by all the greats, including Discepolo, Canaro, Cadicamo, Troilo, Manzi and, of course, the godfather of tango song himself, Carlos Gardel. It will include selections from Pastore's recent album, Gardel Original - a ground-breaking project with pioneering transcriptions of Gardel's original arrangements.
Pastore is joined by pre-eminent Argentine pianist Hernán Malagoli.
Join us for this special late-night event at Crazy Coqs - the perfect nocturnal setting in which to enjoy a drink and surrender yourself to the compelling allure of traditional Argentine canción by two of its greatest and most authentic exponents.
