A large screen will transport the audience through illustrations and historical photos, some dating back to 1892. The printed program will also provide brief biographical notes of the artists and the women being celebrated with this show.
Fiesta Argentina offers audiences a full sensory immersion in Argentine culture: from the smoldering passion of Tango - erotic and haunting, involving both body and soul, started in the smoky saloons of Buenos Aires to the folkloric music and dances depicting the relationship between man and nature in the vast Argentina Pampas, with the elaborate “zapateo” of the gauchos and the powerful bombo rhythms.
