TRIBUTE TO HORACIO FERRER

concert reading on texts by Horacio Ferrer
music by Juan Carlos Cobian, Astor Piazzolla, Osvaldo Pugliese

If, as Paolo Conte says, "the tango is the summary of life as the lizard is the summary of the crocodile", in the literary work of Horacio Ferrer we find a very wide variety of thematic interests: from poetic portraits of great singers and musicians (such as Carlos  Gardel and Aníbal Troilo), to ruthless gazes on contemporary society that speak of child labor or violence against women, up to the poignant "hymns" to poetic madness or value  universal freedom, passing through the moved and intimate "soliloquies" on the meaning of one's own Rio-Plateau origins, on the
banks of a river too big to see the opposite bank,  but so intimate as to merge together the language and culture of two countries like Argentina and Uruguay.
The music performed live by the Trio "Lumière du Tango" renews the harmonic and melodic splendor of famous pieces  immortalized by the global success achieved, for years now, by  this repertoire and are enriched, in several moments, by  interpretative counterpoint offered by Matteo's reciting voice  Beautiful .

TRIO LUMIERE DU TANGO

Tango: synthesis music, born from the meeting of several cultures, which in the space of a few years has been able to take on characteristics  so strong as to even connote the soul of the people  Argentine. Perhaps for this reason it has always been difficult  propose tango in ways that distance it from stylistic features  of origin. This arduous challenge is accepted by the Trio Lumiere, who  he offers us personal transcriptions of the most significant pieces of authors  such as Plaza, Cobian, Bardi and Piazzola, in addition to presenting also  original songs with various types of contamination, in which it will be easy  rediscover the ardor and balance refined by the experience of concert performers  engaged for years in a repertoire that straddles music  cultured and jazz. All the various items come together in the Trio Lumiere project  cultural suggestions as well as the instrumental and creative skills of the  group, with the sensual timbre mixes of the flute and the bandoneon, which on several occasions challenge each other in intricate and refined percussive effects and  where at the base of the milonga the  counterpoint technique and the inimitable freshness  of impressionism, in a virtuosic tension that is only of  tango.
