I took the liberty of taking some pictures at the Cafe de Los Maestros concert.
Cafe de Los Maestros @ Brussels
The concert was excellent, it showed that age has no power over passion and skill.
This is the impression of Anna Jenkinson:

Never before have I seen or heard so much joy during a performance in the Bozar concert hall. The showmanship of one of the pianists, who finished his pieces with flamboyant flourishes and winked at the audience as if to share a joke, caused the house to burst out with laughter. World champion tango dancers Daniel Nacucchio and Cristina Sosa added a ‘wow’ effect, as they impressed with their passionate dancing and daring kicks. And as soloist Juan Carlos Godoy shuffled onto stage, he had won over the audience’s hearts before he even started to sing.

Buenos Aires tango : Café de los Maestros

Two years ago,  Gustavo Santaolalla, of Bajofondo Tango Club fame, created a real labour of love: he invited a number of ‘old’ tango musicians (from the ’40 – ’50 era) and re-recorded them together.  The result was a splendid record called “Café de los Maestros” and with it goes a making-of movie of the same name, that is quite exceptional too. Now there is also the orchestra of the maestros, and they come to Brussels!

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.

Samedi 29 mai 2010- Fête du bicentenaire de l'Indépendance de L'Argentine - Grand événement Tango - La Mi'Lu ne, Liège

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).

Ciudad Baigon @ Bouche à Oreille
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.
