Event Description

Puertos de Tango (Tango Ports) aims to revisit lesser-known themes of great Uruguayan authors, thus keeping wonderful compositions alive. The project includes a special tribute to Astor Piazzolla and the great Uruguayan poet Horacio Ferrer, evoking much of their creative duo and reinterpreting part of their repertoire inspired by the artists’ homeland, Uruguay.

In this kind of cosmopolitan tango without temporal and spatial boundaries, some versions in Italian and French are included, justified in the words of Ramón Pelinski (Argentine ethnomusicologist and composer) who describes tango as a “global metaphor”: a tango with infinite possibilities, capable of imagining and travelling to other worlds, without fear that “its entire life is yesterday, holding it in its past.”

Natalia Bolani seeks her own interpretation from her perspective as an actor, resignifying and valuing the chosen texts through contemporary sounds, mainly appealing to the sound of the piano and the bandoneón, instruments with strong organic and referential connotations in Rio de la Plata culture.

The project intends to attract new audiences to this genre, as well as to offer a repertoire not usually enjoyed by those more familiar with the music. Its raison d’être is, ultimately, the encounter with the emotions, a meeting where interpretive and sonorous power intermingle in the same waters, in a kind of cathartic ritual through artistic creation.
