TANGO BUENOS AIRES

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

ALWAYS ONE OF THE TOP PROGRAMS IN LAS VEGAS ! ! !

ONE.......THAS WAS A TOO SHORT PROGRAM AT UNLV'S HAM HALL ! ! !

BAD START....2 MINUTES LATE AND AUDIO FOR THE FIRST ALLEGED VOCAL ALMOST UNHEARABLE....THAT WITH HAM HALLS HISTORIC RECORD OF GREAT SOUND...I THINK IT WAS THE ARGENTINE MIX AND SOUND SYSTEM THAT SCREWED THIS UP...THERE WERE FOREIGN SPEAKERS ON STAGE WHICH WE  HOLD RESPONSIBLE ALONG WITH THE MIX...AWFUL.

AFTER THAT...... JUST THE TOP SHOW IN LAS VEGAS FOR 2015...ITS EARLY BUT THIS WILL LAST.

10 WORLD CLASS TANGO DANCERS...5 MUSICIANS...ONE SINGER (COULD HAVE KEPT HER IN SOUTH AMERICA).

THIS ONCE A DECADE SHOW HERE JUST AMAZING .....AS ALWAYS WITH THE INTRICATE FOOTWORK BEAUTIFULLY CHOREOGRAPHED BY HECTOR FALCON.

ACTUALLY.... ALL OF IT COMES TOGETHER SO WELL WITH THE DANCE TROUP.

I SALUTE THE ABILITY AND CAREER COMMITMENT THESE DANCERS HAVE MADE TO THEIR CRAFT.....WE WERE UP CLOSE AND LOVED THE EYELEVEL FOOTWORK.

NICE COSTUMES AND THE SOUND OF STRINGS AND ACCORDIANS CONTINUES TO GRAB ME AND PROVIDE PERFECT BACKUP FOR THE WELL TIMED DANCERS.

THERE WAS AN EVA PERON THEME TO THIS SHOW WITH A STORY LINE AND DANCE CHOREOGRAPHY MIXED TOGETHER....IT WAS NOT SOMETHING WHIPPED UP ON THE PLANCE RIDE FROM BUENOS AIRES...IT WAS A WELL REHEARSED PLAN AND THIS BUNCH DELIVED THE GOODS.

THEY CLOSED THE FIRST HALF WITH AN EXCELLENT DISPLAY OF THE BOUNCING WOOD BALLS ON STRINGS CHOREOGRAPHED WITH THE TANGO....ONE SPEAR CHUCKER REALLY STOOD OUT AND FOUR OTHERS JOINED FOR THE FINALE...WOW !

THIS TANGO HAS FLOWN HERE ABOUT EVERY SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS AND THIS MY FOURTH VISIT.... I HOPE I HAVE ANOTHER DECADE LEFT TO SEE THIS AGAIN.

NICE CROWD IN THE CONTINUING UNLV PERFORMANING ARTS CENTER PROGRAM SERIES...

NEXT..... CENTURY MASTERSWORKS....27 JANUARY 2015.....1930 PM.....CHAMBER SYMPHONY MUSIC.....THEY DO THE STRINGS JUST FOR ME !
