A tango performance combining vocals, bandoneon and spoken stories to explore the music and its cultural roots.
Apalabrando Tangos is a stage performance that brings music and storytelling together. Emilce Rosana sings, accompanied by bandoneon, while Daniel Rilo provides spoken introductions and recitations between songs. The format offers audiences a way into tango through both its music and the stories surrounding it.
The show focuses on selected episodes and origins of tango, using narration to give the songs context. It is designed as a listening performance rather than a dance milonga or an uninterrupted run of musical numbers; spoken word is an essential part of the presentation.
The programme may include candombe, milonga, tango vals and tango canción. It touches on rural, European, Caribbean and African roots. Rosana's voice recalls both early tango singers and the perspective of a woman whose connection with tango comes from neighbourhood and arrabal life.
This format can suit cultural programmes, theatres, music series and private events where audiences are there to listen. It is a considered choice for organisers who want tango presented with context and storytelling rather than a dance-led format.
Pricing depends on the date, venue, format and technical requirements. The supplied details call for a stage, lighting and sound for two voices and a bandoneon, and say the group can also provide its own sound equipment. Request a no-obligation quote and receive a reply within 24 hours.
