Uber die tango show„Verbindung“ ist das Leitmotiv im argentinischen Tango. Eine ausgezeichnete Metaphor für eine niederländisch-deutsche Zusammenarbeit.

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.
