Charles Hazlewood is joined by the quintet Tango Volcano and members of the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra to explore the world of the tango.

The Tango started life as music of the slums and took on the form of an earthy and sensual dance. The music exudes strong feelings of sensuality, passion and the romantic element of the tragic too. Its dervish and dramatic nature imbued the music with the sense of the 鈥榙ance of death.鈥�

Essentially the music of exiled people, the musical themes of Tangos often centre on broken love, the sadness for having left a country behind for a new life, as well as a desire and passion for life!

Charles Hazlewood is joined by the quintet Tango Volcano and members of the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra to explore the history of this exciting and sensual world.
