Tango music and education developments in Argentina
Overview
Tango music and education are experiencing growth through international performances and formal institutional recognition in Argentina and Colombia.
Musical ensembles have announced significant tours, including the Quinteto Astor Piazzolla’s ‘Le Grand Tango’ tour, which features works by the Argentine composer and includes a stop in Bucaramanga, Colombia. Additionally, the Camarada Tango Quartet is preparing for an Argentine tour following the recording of their album ‘Lifemakers’ in Buenos Aires.
Concurrently, tango education in Argentina is gaining formal structure. In Rosario, the La Casa del Tango cultural center has obtained official recognition from the Ministry of Education of the Province of Santa Fe, allowing its pedagogical programs to provide official certification. In Buenos Aires, the state-run Centro Educativo de Tango de Buenos Aires (Cetba) is marking 35 years of operation, training more than 600 students in tango theory, history, and practice.
Recent developments highlight a fusion of tango with classical dance. In Balcarce, the Buenos Aires Ballet, directed by Federico Fernández, is scheduled to perform a ‘Gran Gala de Ballet’ on October 12 at the Teatro Municipal ‘Luis A. Conti’. The repertoire will feature international classical fragments alongside works set to the music of Astor Piazzolla, utilizing dancers from the Teatro Colón and the Teatro Argentino de La Plata. In Córdoba, the production ‘Entre dos mundos’ will star Hernán Piquín alongside the Ballet Oficial de la Provincia at the Teatro del Libertador San Martín from October 1 to 4. This production bridges the romantic repertoire of ‘Paquita’ with the intensity of Piazzolla’s tango, accompanied by a live quintet.
