Sandra Sue: a tango photographer
The tango dance, rather than the music or the song, is the generator of the gesture and the disseminator of a supposed – sometimes real- port mise en scene that has become unmistakable and has known how to establish a place for itself in the world’s visual memory, from Helsinki to Taiwan, and from Paris to Bombay. It does not matter that the instruments change, nor that an erroneous musical beat hinders more than it helps the dance. The gesture represents it, evokes it, converts it into a symbol thanks to a rare quality of universal evocation possessed by few dances.
Tango Nuevo
Tango nuevo or nuevo tango (ang. new tango) – describes: (a) form of music in which new elements are incorporated into traditional argentine tango; (b) evolution of argentine tango dance.
New tango music and dance are examples of constantly evolving forms of argentine tango. In time, the tango nuevo elements become incorrporated into the main body of tango and, inevitably, become traditional.
One of the recent examples of the tango nuevo music was the incorporation of jazz and classical music into tango music. The most important composer of this style was Ástor Piazzolla, who revolutionized tango by introducing new instruments (e.g. saxophone, electric guitar) and new forms of harmonic and melodic structures into the traditional tango ensemble.
Tango nuevo is danced to music which can be either traditional tango or more contemporary music such as Gotan Project, Tanghetto, or Narcotango
