Quartango & The Belmontes Argentine Tango Dancers February 10, 2008

Montreal-based Quartango takes tango in new directions, with impeccable arrangements, subtle and unexpected allusions to classical music, and a liberal dose of humor, all woven together by the elegant interplay of ensemble playing at its best. The four classically trained musicians offer up a varied repertoire ranging from the best-loved classic tangos to tango nuevo and Piazzolla, and also explores other genres from jazz and ragtime to waltzes and Celtic jigs in its own inimitable style.

When Quartango teams up with Argentine tango dancers Roxana and Fabian Belmonte, audiences are spellbound by the intricate, sensual dance steps and the spirited music. Tangos that draw on classical works, jazz standards, Celtic melodies and popular tunes provide the setting for Roxana and Fabian’s terpsichorean pyrotechnics. Dancers and musicians share their passion for the tango in an exceptional performance where melody and movement are in perfect harmony.
