Aleksandar Nikolic Composes, Final Show, Tango Festival Palermo - Italyby Harley Jones |
The VI Palermo Tango Festival runs from 23 to 27 February in Southern Italy. The new theatrical drama "7 Peccati... mas uno!" will be the second collaboration of bandoneonist and composer Aleksandar Nikolic and the famous Quintet Beltango with Teatro Golden and dancing company Alterazioni Tango from Palermo led by well known Argentinean choreographer Angel Coria. After the great success of "Saint George and the Dragon" performed last festival, a strong theme for 2017 of "7 Peccati... mas uno!" (7 Capital Sins) will give the audience a unique mixture of powerful and strong music by Quintet Beltango, inspired by a tradition of tango which will be this time in strong interaction with classical, modern, jazz and Balkanic roots. There will be some 60 minutes of new music composed by Aleksandar and Ivana Nikolic (picture left - concert in Finland), performed by Beltango and Argentinean double bass player Gerardo Scaglione. The audience will have the possibility to see and listen to a unique vision of pride, sloth, wrath, gluttony, envy, greed and lust. The world premiere of this musical-dancing spectacle will be 26th February, the final grand show and the prime concert of the VI Palermo Tango Festival. This new music will be available later next year on a new CD of Quinteto Beltango Beltango will continue the 2017 season with new concerts and tours around Europe (Italy, Germany, Switzerland, France, Holland, Austria, Slovenia, Sweden, Croatia, Spain...)
