The music of two iconic artists colors this exploration of Latin American folk traditions. GRAMMY-Award winning bandoneón player Héctor Del Curto joins the orchestra to perform Piazzolla’s “Aconcagua” concerto in the composer’s signature nuevo tango style, a fusion of jazz, classical, and the traditional Argentinian tango form. Edna Vazquez brings a PNW spin to the performance, mixing the mariachi, Mexican psychedelic rock, and Cuban trova styles of her youth with an edge that unmistakably hails from Portland.

It Takes Two to Tango

Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall

A family affair, the three magnetic brothers from Veracruz, Mexico, share their ancestry with audiences worldwide and now return to The Soraya after their appearance in the 2021 postpandemic Re-Opening Night. Beyond being tradition-bearers, they are inventive and virtuosic performers who have collaborated with artists including Bruce Springsteen, Dolly Parton, and many symphony orchestras. Sharing the stage will be Edna Vazquez, a powerhouse vocalist who grew up in the birthplace of mariachi music, Jalisco, Mexico. Since moving to the U.S., Vazquez has become a versatile artist often appearing at major venues with her adopted ensemble, Pink Martini.

And GRAMMY® Award-winning Argentine bandoneón artist Héctor Del Curto performs music by the iconic Astor Piazzolla and Carlos Gardel —including the famous “Por Una Cabeza.” Argentine master dancers Celina Rotundo and Hugo Patyn become the seductive, sensual tango — the sexiest of all dances — as they glide, kick, and strut across the stage.
