Description
Tango Siempres' music is recognisable as contemporary tango in either style - rhythmic devices, melodic ornamentation, the all-pervading influence of Astor Piazzolla - or mood - wistful melodies, minor keys - or sound ââ¬' emotional violins, the magnificently expressive yet diabolically finger-busting bandoneon. Aside from a mazurka and a chamamé (with unexpected South African influences) all the music has Piazzollaââ¬â¢s nuevo tango as a touchstone with the addition of drums, electronics, jazz improvisation (and some slightly wonky harmony in Straw Dogs). Although it isnââ¬â¢t traditional tango dance music, three of the pieces have been used as a basis for contemporary tango choreography. One of these songs is Straw Dogsââ¬Â which is the result of leafing through Dave Liebmanââ¬â¢s book on chromaticism in jazz. The dancers we were working with described this as the most horrible piece of music they had ever heard. Tango + tragedy + comedy + drums + distorted violin = tango inglés.
