Inspired by the modern urban music of Buenos Aires (tango nuevo) and the unpredictable rhythm of Stravinsky’s music, Eduardo Rovira merged both elements in the thrilling ballet “Tango Buenos Aires”. For their newest album entitled “FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT”, SONICO was guided solely by a rare record from 1962, and thanks to an intensive archaeological effort they breathed new life into this fundamental tango ballet music.
The performances add an extra dimension to the “standard” concert format of SONICO. The music is reinforced by the video projection of four stimulating dance choreographies, performed by dancers from Platform -K and Les ballets C de la B. This creation is attractively depicted by an enigmatic lighting design and photo montage (made in Buenos Aires) that serves as a backdrop for several theatrical moments performed by the musicians. With this show, SONICO invites the audience to immerse themselves in an adventure to explore the world of Rovira and his “tango moderno”
Premiered on January 19, 2024, at the BOZAR Brussels
