I promised you a review of last week's Tango Connection Production - called "A Night in Buenos Aires" held at the Wightman Community Center - Pittsburgh, Pa 15217 - Squirrel Hill location - which took place on Sun Feb 26-2012.
In a nutshell - the event was terrrific. The Tango band - called "Cuidado"'s musicians -played a lot of dynamite Tangos and Milongas - their repertoire.
The band's guest vocalist - Josephine Scaglione - performed some famous Tangos that evening and Ms. Scaglione's well trained for "chanson" genre - alto voice - does a nice job for the Tango songs.
The minor comment regarding Ms. Scaglione's performing a single vocal tone for the famous Astor Piazzola's classic - "Onda Nueva" - would be that some lyrics would be in order - so she could use her specialty - chanson. Utilizing only one vocal tone without lyrics - would require totally different vocal training from the one which Ms. Scaglione - presently - commands.
