Orquesta Tipica Ciudad Baigon extra concert in Eindhoven 10-10-10

Ciudad Baigon

21st century. A new generation. A need slowly seeping through. The concept of Tradition starts to work no longer as a mirror, but as a bridge towards the unexplored. This formula brought about real team work, which forged the Typical Tango Orchestra: a formation responsible for The Golden Age of Tango Music. Henceforward, the task was to perceive the new society and to produce accordingly. Also, to explore urban folklore and arrive at two mandatory instances: to create the nonexistent and to boost what was already in existence, in the pursuit of excellence. To discover that social language in constant distortion; the same language that meanders generating new forms.

To discover the intangible logic which hangs to every breeze. And as a consequence, our first request: Permiso (Excuse me) - the first Tango composed by Ciudad Baigón : our opening gesture; and as an aftermath, our first album Ciudad Baigón. Then came the strategies to inaugurate new audiences; to perform street tango in Buenos Aires (with a piano on the sidewalk, literally!) Soon after that came our first encounter with the lands of origin: twelve musicians experiencing their initiation rites around Europe: Paris, Prague, Berlin, Milan, Zürich.

And on return, the big question: what..s going on with Tango today? And the answer opens up new projects: the era of rush without a substance must come to an end. We must find the pillars of tradition but ignore traditionalism; and generate concept. Integrate. Investigate the city..s past history. And then, the breakthrough: Destierro –our second album; and the same idea lives on in new tango after tango. We find out who we are; we arrange tango masterpieces, challenging the established culture; we celebrate each revival.

And then, we revisit them over and over again.Origin of western music, finishing line after over a century of blending Europe and America. And from then on, the last rung (rather the first of our extended, new phase): to conceive a new space for this current, this generation; to inaugurate the Ciudad Baigón nights. To develop this concept and impregnate it with life. In short, to conjugate Tango in the present tense.

Trio Tango Nocturna won the 3rd Concurso del Ocho, the international Tango Music Competition held in Nijmegen on march 12th. The Encouragement price was given to NORTENOS.

Nocturna was immediately invited by a delegation of Cafe Ada from Wuppertahl to perform there later this year, and also the INTERNATIONAL TANGOFESTIVAL BERLIN send Hauke Juranek to invite the Trio Nocturna. As result of a coorperation with these international festivals, the winner has the oppertunity to play on these festivals when the organisation agrees and when the winner fits in the festival programme. Also negociations with the Sitges festival may lead to a performance in Spain later in july.

Nocturna will perform on the openingnight of the Berlin festival on may 19th/ See their website here


Nocturna (‘of the night’) is the title of a fast milonga from the Argentinean tango repertoire. The music of Trio Nocturna is in an original way based on this repertoire. The trio consists of Charlotte Dupuis (voice, violin) Mirek Walton (guitar, piano) and Boris Franz (double bass). The repertoire of Trio Nocturna includes new arrangements of tango classics (e.g. of A. Piazzolla en S. Piana) and contemporary compositions by Mirek and Boris. The diversity of influences is audible on the debut album of the trio: Milonga del norte (February 2009). The members of the trio graduated from various conservatories and each has a diverse musical backround. Their strong musical connection comes forward in poetic, quite dance-able, joyous and melancholic tangomusic.

Juan Carlos Caceres in Nijmegen, march 13

CONCERT
SATURDAY MARCH 13

JUAN CARLOS CACERES
Murga Argentina


place : Mirror Tent Centre Nijmegen ( Koningsplein)
admission : 15 euro
time : start concert 20.30

Possessed by a strong magnetic tellurism, Cáceres was always to be found within the limits of the hurricane’s eye. He arrived in Paris – was it mere chance? – in May 1968. He was not looking for a beach under the cobblestones, but he found one. In Buenos Aires, where he was born, he had been the factotum of the Existentialist Scene. Student of Fine Arts during day time, trombonist at night, agitator, a force of nature, he became the attraction of the mythic Cueva de Passarato, a jazz club and epicentre of revolutionary trends. There converged beatniks, upper class chicks and future Maoist guerrillas, often combined in a single individual.

Cáceres, a tsunami of magma and champagne, was the man in charge. Until one day he answered the calling. In Paris he played with the artist Marie Laforêt, founded the bands Malon and Gotan, painted, produced shows, taught History of Art and did research on the roots of the River Plate’s music. Today he still lectures on the subject, but, above all, he composes and sings, with a lion’s voice, the most relevant pieces that mark the rebirth of tango, candombe, murga and milonga. Caceres is inspired, impetuous, passionate and fiery at this. This youngster, born in the 40s, is the reference for creators in and out of Argentina and Uruguay. The River Plate, the widest river in the world, separate these two countries, that once were one. Cáceres drinks these rhythms that Cáceres brings from the past, to move the present and point to the future.

Modernism is found in the beginnings.

Tanghetto Concert & Tanguerilla VJ show at Doble Ocho 2010

For the 2010 Fusion Night we present one of the best Venues of Nijmegen, a very special location that is hard to get in Nijmegen: the Waalzaal of the Nijmegen theatre just adjacent to the Keizer Karel square. This venue seems to be made for tango with a brilliant dancefloor and fashionable design. It is the perfect place for the first full live concert of a tangoband on the thursday of Doble Ocho history: TANGHETTO. They will play danceable sets and a lot of stuff from their new album. This is not only the result of their recognition and popularity in Europe and the rest of the world, but also in Argentina. The concert is supported by VJ visuals on stage. But not only on stage.



VOLKER MARSSCHAUSSEN will present his TANGUERILLA experience at Doble Ocho Fusion night 2010. The tanguerilla merges lights, music and roomfilling, interactive videoprojections with up to 6 projectors at max. 40m screens to an immersive audiovisual tango production. The tanguerilla is far away from being an exhausting art event, it has preserved the melancholical essence of the tango flavored with contemporary musical ingredients hosted by DJ-VJ Volker.

Tangodancers made a little show on the main stage where Major Thom de Graaf held his newyears speach. Quinteto Tango Extremo played also on stage making the link to the Doble Ocho tangofestival in Nijmegen that will take place from march 17-21, with the kick off on march 17 with this Quinteto Tango Extremo and their theatre tour : Carnaval de Buenos Aires: mixture of Tango, Jazz and film ! On the main stage, on music by GOTAN PROJECT, the Artemiev duo performed their famous Tango trapeze act high above the heads of the spectators, and after this show, the Best Citizen of Nijmegen of 2009 was presented and honoured.
Tango Extremo and the dancers on the main stage

After the main presentations, the crowd headed for the drinks and the snacks and a tango salon started in another room, again with Live music from quinteto Tango Extremo. More than 30 couples crowded the floor and the room was filled with dancers and spectators.
