200 years of Argentinian Independence

Published on May 25, 2010 in concert and salon. 0 Comments

Today 25 May is the day the Argentinians celebrate “Revolucion de Mayo“ or their indepence day. This cannot go unnoticed here in Belgium.

In Brussels there is a 4-day event “Argentina Festival” (Espace Senghor), with on Friday a concert by Orquesta Tipica Misteriosa Buenos Aires, followed by a milonga. On Saturday there are movies and on Sunday there’s a big BBQ (‘asado‘).

And in Liège La Mi’Lune organizes on Saturday the “Milonga de la Independencia” with the orchestra Tango Tinto & Sergio Gobi and a demo by Adrian and Amanda.

Who are Adrian & Amanda Costa?

“Specialists of the Villa Urquiza Style, their tango rimes with simplicity, elegance of the abrazo, of the walk, a unique interpretation of musicality. Watching them is living their tango full of emotions, feelings and pleasure; and it is also visualising the music and its instruments. Rather than simply teaching, they wish to transmist their passion and share their talents. “

They will give some workshops in both Brussels at the Villa Urquiza School (28 May) and Liège at La Mi’Lune (29 and 30 May).

Last Thursday the Patio de Tango was a crowded place, not only because of the dancers, but also because of the 12-person orchestra on stage: Orquesta Tipica Ciudad Baigon, straight from Buenos Aires.

Not only was the music excellent, the musicians were also popular, specifically some of the bandoneon players, as the ladies in front of the stage kept repeating.

Sergio had a special guest for his Maison Du Peuple milonga: Alfredo Marcucci with his tango orchestra. And I also discovered plenty of tattoos on pretty ladies, two of which are shown in this article.

This was a busy weekend. On Saturday Nosotros, in collaboration with Bouche-à-Oreille, had organized a milonga with a little extra: a concert by the Quilombo quintet. Five young musicians from Antwerp played Piazolla-style tango with pinch of modern influences (Nirvana comes to mind).
