Inspired by tango, jazz and contemporary music, Tango Siempre have developed their own unique and eclectic style of tango.
Tango Siempre features Pete Rosser (accordion), Ros Stephen (violin), Jonathan Taylor (piano) and Kylie Davies (double bass).
Their repertoire includes the intoxicating rhythms and melodies of 1930s Buenos Aires, the beautiful nuevo tango of Astor Piazzolla, powerful new works by members of the group and innovative commissions from composers as diverse as Pablo Ziegler (pianist from Piazzolla's quintet), Huw Warren (Winner of Radio 3 Innovations in Jazz Award 2005) and Will Gregory (of Goldfrapp).
Subitango is performed by the UK's leading tango dancers Kicca and Giraldo. They both studied with the greatest tango maestros in Buenos Aires and have performed extensively throughout Europe and Latin America.
Kicca's previous work has included dancing with Take That in their 2006 sell-out Ultimate Tour, the 2004 tour of Maria de Buenos Aires and regular performances for Arte Latino Cultural Project. She also appeared in the recent BBC Tango Ident, and BBC Strictly Come Dancing.
Giraldo has performed with the acclaimed Bolivian music group Rumillajta, Arte Latino Cultural Project and Danza Colombia!. He has created choreography for the Channel Four film Dance, and appeared in Madonna's film Evita, Deborah Bull's BBC dance season programme Travels with my Tutu, and BBC Strictly Come Dancing. During autumn 2007 and spring 2008 Giraldo performed in Sally Potter's Carmen at Covent Garden.
From classic tangos, milongas and valses to contemporary tango pieces, Kicca and Giraldo combine elegance with virtuosic athleticism to create a truly breathtaking performance.
"....twisting and turning the ever malleable form of tango into a very contemporary end. Tango has never been so dizzyingly cross-cultural"
