Synopsis

Tango holds a special place in the world’s musical heritage. What began in the lively cafes and bars of Argentina has since crossed borders to become an international phenomenon. Popularised by composers like Carlos Gardel and Astor Piazzolla, tango has evolved into a celebrated art form performed on prestigious stages worldwide. In recognition of its cultural significance, tango was included in UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list in 2009.

 

In this performance, Tango Duo showcases the rich cultural heritage of tango with a heartfelt selection of beloved tango tunes.
