Libertango Dancers - Astor Piazzolla - Tango - TangoOz - Sydney Youth Orchestra - SYO - HD

Recently "Libertango" performed by the Bond Quartet featured on the hit TV show "So You Think You Can Dance" SYTYCD making this Argentine Tango red-hot all over again.

Grace Jones's song I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango) is based on the same tune, as does Jazz Mandolin Project's song "Jungle Tango", Guy Marchand's song "Moi je suis tango" and Kati Kovács's song Hívlak.

In 2002, a re-recording of Libertango appeared on Australian/British classical crossover string quartet Bond second album "Shine".

Also Libertango was played by the famous guitarist Al Di Meola in his 2000 album The Grande Passion and by the world-renowned cellist, YoYo Ma, in his 1997 album, Soul of the Tango: The Music of Astor Piazzolla.

Libertango is a composition by tango composer Astor Piazzolla, published in 1974. The title is a portmanteau merging "Libertad" (Spanish for liberty) and "Tango", symbolizing Piazzolla's break from Classical Tango to Tango Nuevo.

Ástor Pantaleón Piazzolla (March 11, 1921 -- July 4, 1992) was an Argentine tango composer and bandoneón player. His oeuvre revolutionized the traditional tango into a new style termed nuevo tango, incorporating elements from jazz and classical music. A virtuoso bandoneónist, he regularly performed his own compositions with different ensembles.

Piazzolla's nuevo tango was distinct from the traditional tango in its incorporation of elements of jazz, its use of extended harmonies and dissonance, its use of counterpoint, and its ventures into extended compositional forms.

By the 1970s Piazzolla was living in Rome, managed by the Italian agent Aldo Pagani, and exploring a leaner, more fluid musical style drawing on more jazz influence, and with simpler, more continuous forms. Pieces that exemplify this new direction include Libertango and most of the Suite Troileana, written in memory of the late Anibal Troilo.

Musical instruments include: Bandoneon, Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, Clarinet, Oboe, Flute & Piano.

This performance by TangoOz is in Sydney Australia. Filmed in High Definition HD 1080p.

Excellent. Argentine tango is a difficult dance. Libertango is beautiful, but very difficult to dance to. This couple is great.

[knug]

Tango has inspired works of musical genius, and Libertango is one of them.

This takes me to a place of true joy every time.

Fui para Buenos Aires no senhor tango e gostei muito do espetáculo. É incrível como o argentino é um povo patriota e tem o tango em sua cultura.

Thank you Jason Julian for let us enjoy these beautiful dancers.  It bring to my memories when I took dance lessons at Fred Astaire Dance School, and enjoyed the competitions. Tango was one of my favorite dance!

She dances very patient with herself.  A cute piece.

Like a beautiful dream.  Then I wake up and remind myself of how much hard work, how many long hours  and  how much intense study it takes to become this superb. Thank you for this.

Astor PIazzolla decía: Odio el tango para bailar, yo escribo musica para escuchar. Y relata como, cuando era bandeoneonista de Troilo, hacia los arreglos para complicarles la vida a los bailarines. Y muchos bailarines se empeñan en bailar musica de Piazzolla...Y entonces solo se ve como un ejercicio de destreza gimnástica
