SNJO play
'New Tango: A Hommage to Piazzolla & Brazilian Scenes: Mario Caribe'

SNJO’s autumn 2008 tour presents music from Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela, featuring composers Astor Piazzolla, Mario Caribe and Leo Blanco.

The inventor of new tango, bandoneonist Astor Piazzolla added classical music influences and orchestral jazz colouring to create music for the ears as well as the feet on his most famous works including La Camorra, Michelangelo, Milonga Loca, Milonga del Angel, Resurreccion del Angel, and Libertango.

Brazilian Scenes, which has been specially commissioned and written by bassist Mario Caribe, is inspired by the Scottish-based Sao Paulo native’s observations of TRAVEL, PEOPLE, NATURE and PARTY.

Completing this South American odyssey, the phenomenal Venezuelan pianist and composer Leo Blanco has written a work inspired by his homeland, a country where music teems with rhythm, flavours and the richness blended from Native Indian, African and European ingredients.
