Tango Magia Festival, Amsterdam 30-12-09. Show by Mariano Frumboli and Juana Sepulveda 5/6

Mariano Frumboli, also known as Chicho, has played the main role in the creative evolution of tango in the last 10 years. It is undoubtly thanks to his extensive artistic background that Chicho was capable of seeing in tango more than a dance prefixed by strong popular believes. His musical background allowed him to relate to music differently than his predecesors, he created a unique complicity with the music, a relationship that no other dancer before has been able to establish and that was inspirational for the new generation of tango dancers.

Chicho's theatrical background influenced the tango dance also by adding to the dance aesthetics and forms never used before in tango, and that went directly against the well known rules or matters of the past social tango dance but that today are used among professionals and amateurs all around the world.

Chicho's work has been one of the biggest gifts that an artist could have given to any art form: his continuous inquiry, research, quest for originality, and full hearted creativity.

Juana Sepulveda, one of the youngest stars in the tango sky, spans the entire range of expression from an innovative subtlety to a stunning manifestation of power in every movement, always matched by her unswerving musicality and pure elegance and sensuality.
