The Tango Nuevo concert, staged at the Katara Opera House on Wednesday, enthralled a large audience that included people of different nationalities.
The event was jointly organised by Katara – the Cultural Village and the embassy of Argentina in Qatar.
The show, titled Emoción, took the audience on a “unique and emotional experience through the combination of music, poetry and video images, where music was the main focus and video images were used to enhance the experience and support the demonstrative tension”, according to a statement.
Dr Khalid bin Ibrahim al-Sulaiti, general manager of Katara, said: “This show is a part of Argentinean events series hosted by Katara, including celebrations of the Argentinean national day. Similar events are organised with the aim of bringing cultures together.”
He stressed the importance of such events in introducing different cultures to the audience.
Meanwhile, Argentinean ambassador Rosana Surbulle said, “We are sincerely grateful to Katara for supporting this event. It is the outcome of a close collaboration between both sides, as four musicians from Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra are playing the traditional Argentinean music of tango.”
During the event, the audience enjoyed a selection of tango, the most famous music in Latin America, specifically in Argentina. Symphonies of renowned musicians were played during the concert.
The Tango Nuevo concert was initiated with symphonies of Vuelvo Al Sur, Yo Soy Maria, Fuga Y Mysterio, Sera Que Estoy Llorando, Oblivion and Balada Para Un Loco and Escualo by Astor Piazzolla, along with the music of Lonely Woman by Ornette Coleman and La Cumparsita by Gerardo Matos Rodriguez.
During the second part of the event, the music of Misirlou by Dick Dale, Tango O by MAias Alyamani and Milonga Para Sonja by Joris Laenen were also played and fascinated attendees of the concert, the statement added.
The Tango Nuevo Project is a mixture of Milongas and Waltzes, Tango Nuevo and traditional captivating melodies from Buenos Aires and Paris, intertwined with a bit of mystery from Damascus and Mumbai.
