Last week Amy Lynch of La Busca discussed what is Australian Tango, so that’s the theme of this week’s music edition of Tango Capital, Sunday evening from 7:00pm to 8:00pm:
- broadcasting on 2xxfm 98.3 in Canberra
- streaming to the web at http://www.2xxfm.org.au
- on demand from http://www.2xxfm.org.au/programs/tango-capital/
Mendoza Tango Quartet are: Stephen Cutriss (bandoneón), Chloe Ann Williamson (double bass), and originally Rebecca Karlen (violin) and John Reeves (piano) but since December 2016 Liz Young (violin), Daniel Rojas-Gonzales (piano) and Solange Lipcin (vocals). In 2018 Cara Tran took over piano.
And a further footnote on Australian tango… Los Jovenes del Tango played tango from Canberra from 2009 to 2011. The sextet played ‘Buenos Aires In The Southern Highlands’ among other events, but did not record. The musicians were: Simon Milman on bass, Valdis Thomann on accordian, Liena Lacey on Harp, Lathika Vithanage on violin, Lucy Carrigy-Ryan on Viola, and Natalya Tacheci on voice.
