Following sell-out
seasons in New York, London, Barcelona, Hamburg, and Capetown, the
Tango Fire Company of Buenos Aires returns to Australia with their new
show Tango Inferno.
Tango Inferno consists of ten brilliant dancers, including 3 world
champions, supported by the critically acclaimed quartet of
musicians known as Quatrotango.
In this new show Tango Fire traces the dance from its origins in the
brothels of Buenos Aires to the popular social dances of today,
known throughout Argentina as milonga, and through its more recent
evolution into the world of contemporary ballroom.

10 years ago John and
Cheryl Lowry as well as Paul and Sue O'Brien agreed to hold an
elegant Tango Ball in Brisbane to support the children of Argentina.
They gathered a group of like-minded friends to run the first
milonga and that is how Milonga para los NIños (Dance for the
Children) was born. This charity raises funds to help children from
Argentina in return for their gift to the world of tango music and
dance.

EMBASSY EVENTS
Celebration of the
Bicentenary of Argentina in Canberra
The National Day
commemoration in Canberra commenced with the flag raising ceremony
held at the Latin American Plaza where the national anthem was sung
and Ambassador Pedro Villagra Delgado referred to the importance and
meaning of this anniversary. Among the attendees were the Latin
American Ambassadors as well as the Ambassador of Spain, local
authorities from the office of Multicultural Affairs and members of
the Argentine community. It was planned that members of the Tango
Social Club of Canberra will offer a dance demonstration of our
national music, which didn’t happen due to the heavy rain during the
ceremony evoking the climate conditions in Buenos Aires on the 25th
of May, 1810.
In the evening, a homage concert to the music of the great Argentine
composer Alberto Ginastera took place at the Llewellyn Hall. The
program included works for piano and guitar as well as the concert
highlight “Cantata para América Mágica” (“Cantata for Magic
America”) op. 27, performed by the percussion ensemble from the ANU
School of Music, by the pianists Marcela Fiorillo and James
Huntingford, by the cellist Adam Cook and featured the soprano
singer Justine Anderson, conducted by the maestro Gary France.
This event was co-sponsored by the ANU (Australian National
University) School of Music, by the Australian National Centre for
Latin American Studies and by the Argentine high tech company INVAP
S.E.
The concert was very well attended and highly praised by the
audience. It also received excellent press reviews highlighting the
quality and complexity of maestro Ginastera’s works. “Not every
culture so recognisably celebrates its history through the art….
Anyone not present at this evening missed a major performance
event.” (quoted from The Canberra Times).
