VII Tano Naples Tango Festival 8-13 September 2009
September 9, 2009
Qtour always close to the participant and initiatives involving Naples, its history and its many evolutions invites you to participate from 8 to 13 September to VII Tano Tango Festival which will take place in some of the most beautiful places in the city with the participation about 300 people from 20 European countries. It will be held in Palermo for the end of October, the eighth edition of Sicily Tango Festival with the participation of Italian and foreign masters of tango. The term "Tango" in Buenos Aires began to spread around 1820, refers to a type of hammer used by afromaericani. It may seem a stretch to associate this meaning with the dance, though in appearance at least of the same name, spread sixty dopo.Nell 800 Buenos Aires is the city where "make a fortune." Despite the harshness of the work available, given the wide availability of labor, wages were quite poor. Families of Italians, French, Hungarians, Jews and Slavs, soon joined freed slaves and Argentina in the second and third generation, from the pampas, living together in squalid apartments in neighborhoods built from scratch, called "Orilla", creating a unique blend and unique ethnic and cultural traditions that became the magic ingredient of a creative process.
In the alleys dell'Orilla, the new Argentine disillusionee shared a destiny of despair, which soon emerged a common hope represented by a desire to escape, even if only momentary, oppression, strong sentiment expressed in songs, sung in "Lunfardo ", the dialect of the marginalized, sort of common language strongly influenced by French and Italian. The songs they sang the sadness of the people, but also their happiness and their joys. They sang the nostalgia and the distance, but also the hopes and aspirations. They sang the loneliness, but also loyalty and brotherhood in adversity. The song, as in many other parts of the world, became the consolation of man in music. And as the song requires completion expressive dance and that's in the streets of Buenos Aires, the tango was born.
The people of the pampas, the Gauchos, they bring Payada, an ancient form of poetry popular feature of village fetes: the sudden Payador hendecasyllables six verses, followed by a typical ex-guitar. Around 1870 the payada evolves and it joins the dance: the Habanera, Spanish dance spread in Cuba and brought up by the sailors of the two banks of the Rio de la Plata, which spreads but immediately is transformed, assuming the typical pattern and unusual for a walk when the man and the woman moves backwards. Thus was born the Milonga (in Spanish means party), and Milonguita means to spend the night alternately singing and dancing.
From the port of Buenos Aires comes the candombe, dance characteristic of blacks (who had lived in a small village in the old part before disappearing decimated by yellow fever), in which couples dance separately but close together, indulging in sensual pelvic movements.
These are the ingredients that blend in tango.
