Carlos Becu in concert
Music from the great Astor Piazzolla along with a selection of tango classics like Gallo Ciego, Recuerdo, el Choclo and La cumparista y Quejas de bandoneón. Carlos Becú was born in Argentina during 1979 and his father lives in Broadford, Skye. During 1995 he started studying at Music University, Rosario In 2000 he left for Europe visiting the Scottish Highlands, Hamburg and Germany where he remained until 2004. His love for the great Astor Piazzolla’s music and then for the traditional tango composers, such as Troilo, Pugliese and Di Sarli made him go back home to Argentina to learn the main tango instrument, the mighty Bandoneon. The bandoneón is a type of concertina particularly popular in Argentina and Uruguay. It plays an essential role in the orquesta tipica, the tango orchestra. In 2008, Carlos recorded his first solo album, BANDONEON SOLO, which includes some of the great classics e.g. Sur, Adios Nonino and Che Bandoneón, all interpreted with both feeling and technique. Carlos is joined by Martin Espindola (Buenos Aires) & Linda Nichols. Martin's passion of tango music and his endless enthusiasm of exploring the mechanics of the body's movement, along with his experience of contemporary dance, allows him to show the endless possibilities of free expression into the dance. There will be a maximum of 15 couples for each workshop. Dancers can book as an individual or as a couple. Please wear suitable shoes (no trainers).Date: 05/05/10
