 Fiesta Argentina 2011 will feature folklore singer Suni Paz, critic Allen Hughes of The New York Times said: "Suni Paz, lit up the hall with her enormous charm and vitality...", tango singer Stella Milano, who has been called “outstanding” by the Los Angeles Times, the velvety baritone voice of Carlos Bosio, Tiempo Tango Ensemble directed by guitarist Dino Durand, as well as the Otero Dance Co.
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.
INCA/Del Mate Productions, Juan Luna Events and the Ford Amphitheatre present the sixth annual “FIESTA ARGENTINA 2011: Tango & Folklore, la mujer y su aporte” on Saturday, August 20 at 8:00 pm.
“Fiesta Argentina” returns to the Ford Amphitheatre featuring outstanding tango and folkloric music and dances from Argentina, celebrating the enormous contribution of women to these genres throughout their evolution in Argentina and the world. Figures such as Mercedes Sosa, Ramona Galarza, Libertad Lamarque, Tita Merello and many others left an unforgettable and everlasting body of work in the two main musical genres from Argentina, tango and folklore. “Fiesta Argentina 2011” celebrates their timeless contributions.
