Not all news is new. Although I wrote about this fantastic group about a month ago in the German blog and then wrote a few lines in the newsletter after that, I haven’t really got around to writing a few words in English until now.
The group, Jasstango, brought out the same-named album back in 2008. We just brought in on board at the beginning of this year. I listened to the album intensively for a good couple of weeks back then and was extremely enthusiastic. Then I took a break. I’m listening to the CD again as I write now and I can say that my ‘love at first hearing’ from more than a month ago was no superficial flirt: the music remains good.

Since 1996, Danza y Movimiento has created a large programme for dance courses, Spanish classes, classes for musical instruments and theatre in various countries. In the beginning, the focus was on salsa and tango, but over the years, the range of dance offers has been enlarged to almost all areas of dance and movement. The programme contains modern dance or ballet in Havana or hip hop, Alexander technique or BioDanza in Buenos Aires. And these are only some examples of a broad variety of offers, which are suitable for professionals, beginners, for spending your annual holidays in an active way, and which extend into the areas of dance therapy and choreography.

The Argentinian singer Pablo Banchero lost his heart to tango in the late 1980s. Back then, he wanted to sing tangos, meanwhile most other teenagers preferred jazz and rock. Today, many years later, he recorded his first CD at the age of 42. The newspaper “La Nacion” calls him a new “icon of tango” (the complete, very interesting, article can be read under “reviews”).

The founder of the legendary Sexteto Mayor and the master of tango, Luis Stazo, is back. He recorded the CD “Tango con Pasión” with his new Sexteto Stazo Mayor. And this is only the beginning: He is already booked for the new Broadway show “Tango Pasión – El último tango”. Premiere of the show will be 19/12/08 in the renowned Champs Elysée Theater in Paris. This is the CD with 18 titles, some of them written by Luis Stazo himself.
