Astor Piazzolla had succeeded in pushing back the frontiers of history by fusing tango with modern jazz and classical music. Following in his footsteps, his grandson Daniel has been even more influenced by jazz.
With Nicolàs Guerschberg as the piano player, Mariano Sivori (the double bassist) and Bertrand Cervera (the violin player), the four Corsican-Argentinian pals reunited after the fine adventure of « Caminandu », will carry you away into the sensual and spellbinding universe of Piazzolla’s tango of which Corsicans and Mediterraneans at large are fans.
An outstanding event of 2021, celebrating Astor Piazzolla’s 100th birthday.
