Tango (r)evolution, with Sol Orozco

"When I was twenty, this was NOT possible..." A lot has changed in the 25+ years since Sol Orozco started dancing tango in Buenos Aires. Luckily, Sol is a big believer in change - in her own life and in the world around her. Producer/Host: Liz Sabatiuk | Music: “Ilusión de Mi Vida” by Feliciano Brunelli, arranged and recorded by Asato-Pais Duo | Image Credit: Oscar Chang Photography Show Notes The music in Sol's episode is a contemporary interpretation by Asato Pais Duo of "Ilusión de Mi Vida." (Read Spanish? Here's some history about the song.) Asato Pais were among the artists gracing the Garufa TangoFest stage. Learn more about them on their website, where you can also find their social channels, including the adorable and incredibly informative music education videos they post on YouTube! Watch one of my favorite videos of Sol performing (with Juan), then watch a video by Heyni Solera featuring Sol. Listen to Humans of Tango episodes featuring Juan Cantone and Heyni Solera. If you have any doubts about why Sol’s family might think of the U.S. as the “big bad monster,” here's some useful background. Read about the history of knives in tango (and/or watch a video by the same author). Follow Garufa TangoFest on Facebook or Instagram to stay tuned for August 2024! (Bonus: Watch Juan and his current partner, Virginia Cutillo, perform at the 2023 edition.) Want to study with Sol? You can follow and contact her through Facebook and Instagram.
