Orquesta típica Ciudad Baigón live in Prague! – Oct 9, 2017

on September 16, 2017

Slyšet Ciudad Baigón hrát naživo je jako být součástí laviny emocí, při níž intenzivně vnímáme, že jsme nic podobného nikdy neslyšeli – je to natolik intenzivní a specifický prožitek, se kterým se v naší době, v žádném jiném hudebním žánru nelze setkat. Prostřednictvím  hudebního mostu jsme znenadání uneseni  do nového světa. Toto je Tango na plno, autentické a skutečné – Tango, které žije, dýchá a vyvíjí se v osobně prožitém okamžiku.

Program: 09.10. Monday
20:00 – 21:00 Koncert / Concert
21:00 – 00:00 Tango Tančírna – Milonga / Tango Dance Event – Milonga
22:30 Druhý blok živé hudby k tanci
 / Second live set for dancers

To hear Ciudad Baigon live is to experience an avalanche of emotion with a never-heard-before intensity, which may be impossible to access in our time in any other musical form. The orchestra will be premiering its new repertoire that includes tangos, milongas and zambas as an exploration within Argentine folklore.

This is Tango at its fullest, its most authentic and real– Tango as it lives, breathes and evolves on the spot. You will find yourself immersed in a new world that once heard is impossible to forget.

Orquestra típica Ciudad Baigón

Argentinský fenomén, mladí virtuózové z Buenos Aires uvedou emocionální tektonickou hudbu
současného argentinského tanga v Novoměstské radnici 9.10.2017

Johanna Strausse s vídeňským  valčíkem, kterým si podmanil Evropu, již v Praze nepotkáme.

S radostí Vám však přivádíme znamenitého Hernana Cabreru, současného skladatele argentinského tanga, které si podmanil Jižní Ameriku a postupně celý svět.

V roce 2016 byl orchestr  Ciudad Baigón, který založil,  prohlášen za kulturní fenomén města Buenos Aires.

Orchestr sdružuje mladé hudební mistry z Buenos Aires, kteří otevírají netušené emotivní kompozice tanga. S lehkostí, která vás naprosto pohltí, oživují celý hudební žánr, který byl v roce 2009 zapsán na reprezentativní seznam nehmotného světového kulturního dědictví lidstva UNESCO.  

Orchestr uvede emocionální tektonikou argentinského tanga  posluchače k extázi v prestižních koncertních sálech i v otevřených ulicích měst…tomu se neubráníte ! Tango je i v nové době prostředkem rozmanitosti a kulturního dialogu.

Díky interpretaci Hernana Cabrery se zrodilo nové Tango Přítomnosti, hudba, která do nás vlévá nový život.

Interpreti Ciudad Baigón posunují hranice zažitých forem, hudebních stylů a přinášejí tango živoucí historie, která nikdy nespí, a respektuje reálný čas.  Nové současné skladby tohoto 12ti členného orchestru si při poslechu podmaní vaši duši neuchopitelnou lehkostí. 

V roce 2015 OT Ciudad Baigón nahrál nové album ve slavných studiích ION s písněmi napsanými ve spolupráci s nejvýznamnějším textařem a skladatelem v historii argentinského rocku, Indio Solarim.

Jako první spojuje ve svých skladbách hluboce působivou politickou a undergroundovou kulturu moderní poetiky se sílou rokové hudby a klasického tanga.

Tento unikátní orchestr, který následuje v tradiční podobě formu  „orquesta típica“ z 21. století, na svém evropském turné v 2017, přináší svůj nový repertoár, který zahrnuje tanga, milongy a zambas,  čerpající inspiraci  z původní tradiční formy argentinské hudby. Jejich mocný styl je ovlivněn klasickým tangem, rockem a ruskou klasickou hudbou, a jejich texty reflektují jak témata místa svého původu (Buenos Aires), tak aktuální globální náměty.

Jak říká Hernan Cabrera, dirigent a skladatel OT Ciudad Baigón:

“Tango je populární hudba a jako taková musí odrážet to, co bezprostředně ve svém životě cítíme, a právě takové vnímání života v naší soudobé éře chceme převést do naší hudby.”   

V rámci turné po Evropě, bude skupina natáčet v legendárních Abbey Road Studios v Londýně (Beatles, Pink Floyd, atd.) jejich 4, album “Praise of the Light” / “Chvála světla” 

A právě zastavení v srdci Evropy, v naší Praze, považují za svoji povinnost.

Slyšet Ciudad Baigón hrát naživo je jako být součástí laviny emocí, při níž intenzivně vnímáme, že jsme nic podobného nikdy neslyšeli – je to natolik intenzivní a specifický prožitek, se kterým se v naší době, v žádném jiném hudebním žánru nelze setkat. 

Prostřednictvím  hudebního mostu jsme znenadání uneseni  do nového světa. Toto je Tango na plno, autentické a skutečné – Tango, které žije, dýchá a vyvíjí se v osobně prožitém okamžiku.

Zažít Orquesta típica Ciudad Baigón znamená dospět k proměně, probudit se, žít a víc si uvědomit sílu, kterou nazýváme život, a vše, co v sobě zahrnuje. Kdo jednou přijde na jejich koncert, nikdy nezapomene…

PROGRAM:
20:00 – 21:00 Koncert
21:00 – 0:00 Tango Tančírna – Milonga
22:30 Druhý  blok  živé hudby k tanci

Večerní program bude zahájen klasickým koncertem. 
V rámci pokročilého večera  se překlene do argentiské tangotančírny “milonga”. 
Můžete si tedy vychutnat  nejen koncert, ale i atmosféru klasické argentinské tančírny s živou hudbou v druhé části programu. 
Bude k disposici bar. Můžete s námi slavit celý večerní program.

Koncert připravuje Tango Alchemie s podporou Velvyslanectví Argentinské republiky ve spolupráci s Novoměstkou radnicí.

Orquesta típica Ciudad Baigón

Argentine musical phenomenon, young revolutionary virtuosos of contemporary tango-
Live at the Novomestka radnice in Prague, October 9, 2017

Meet the young, rogue, master musicians from the streets, conservatories and concert halls of Buenos Aires who have blown open the backdoor of the bandoneon- driven ecstasies of Argentine tango to create a new Tango of Now.

Pushing the boundaries of the form, they are adding real-time to the living history of a tango that never sleeps. With soul-grabbing new compositions, this revolutionary young 12 member orchestra is infusing new life and near single-handedly renewing the genre. Their powerful style is influenced by tango, rock and classical Russian music, and their texts reflect current local (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and global issues.

OT Ciudad Baigon have composed tangos in collaboration with the most important lyricist and composer in the history of Argentine rock, Indio Solari. They are the first to merge this deeply moving political and underground culture of modern poetics with the force of rock and classical tango. OT Ciudad Baigon will be on tour in Europe in October 2017, and will cut their 4th album at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London (studio of the Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc.)

In 2016 the orchestra was declared of Cultural Interest by the City of Buenos Aires. In 2015 they recorded an album in the famed ION studios, featuring songs with texts by the most important lyricist and composer in the history of Argentine rock, Indio Solari. They are the first to merge this deeply moving political and underground culture of modern poetics with the force of rock and classical tango. During their 2017 European tour OT Ciudad Baigon will record their 4th album at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.

To hear Ciudad Baigon live is to experience an avalanche of emotion with a never-heard-before intensity, which may be impossible to access in our time in any other musical form. The orchestra will be premiering its new repertoire that includes tangos, milongas and zambas as an exploration within Argentine folklore.

This is Tango at its fullest, its most authentic and real– Tango as it lives, breathes and evolves on the spot. You will find yourself immersed in a new world that once heard is impossible to forget.

PROGRAM:
20:00 – 21:00 Concert
21:00 – 0:00 Tango Dance Event– Milonga
22:30 Second live set for dancers

You are invited to not only enjoy the concert, but to experience the atmosphere of a social dance event for tango, as well as a second live set for dancers.

This event is organized by Tango Alchemie with the support of the Embassy of the Repubic of Argentina in cooperation with the Novomestka radnice.
