Leonardo possesses a unique spirit and is a virtuoso extraordinaire on the violin.... the spirit of the age inhabits him. The art and music of Leonardo Suarez Paz: Because tango is a music for dancing. It is classical music. It is dance and poetry and song. It is about the free, creative expression of the soul. It's about life - or rather what it can be. Violinist Leonardo Suarez-Paz’ voice came as a surprise and delight. His strong voice (he sings as well as he plays) sold the lyrics, and articulated tango performance’s very soul. Amazing dancers - who enliven the evening with fiery steps and the spirit of Buenos Aires. |
Fantastic! Leonardo & Olga Suarez Paz! Leonardo Suarez Paz, "the finest tango violinist.... here he is to show off his dancing"... The production is an ingenious musical concept: classic tango music of the 1940's and 50's is fused with the harmonic and rhythmic construct of contemporary nuevo tango - and it's performed by a classically trained quartet. Throw in dance, poetry, and visuals - and the whole thing is a Force 5 sensorial explosion. Leonardo has an amazing professional legacy and authenticity. He and the musicians and dancers of Cuartetango bring us an exceptional live, sexy performance. |
PROMO REEL
PBS WHYY features Cuartetango Music + Dance
Cuartetango Music & Dance features Leonardo Suarez Paz, a multi-talented, 4th generation tanguero of unparalleled heritage, billed as "Tango Royalty" (All About Jazz, UK/Erie Times), who starred in the iconic Tangox2, Perfumes de Tango, The Mariano Mores Show, as a violin soloist and dancer as well as Broadway productions of Forever Tango and Tango Argentino. He is accompanied by the Latin GRAMMY-Award nominated Cuartetango string quartet, a guest bandoneonist, singers and tango dancers featured on Broadway, television and film, Teatro Colon Opera House and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. The artists embody the “fiery steps and the spirit of Buenos Aires,” (M. Quintanilha, Wexner Center) and represent the "authentic spirit of Tango” (Latin Grammy, LARAS) in this theatrical chamber concert.
The show invites you into the magical Buenos Aires – the city of tango – into its intimate world of stories and dreams – of Carlos Gardel, an illegitimate boy who becomes Argentina’s biggest superstar, of a porteño who allures a young lady into a street milonga with his convoluted brisk steps, of a mastermind composer, Piazzolla, who invades hearts and concert halls with his new tango that speaks many languages and genres, or of a genius poet Ferrer who transgresses semantics playing a musical scale of his profuse linguistic creations and who speaks fondly of Leonardo:

It is Leonardo Suarez Paz’s enchanted, inspired and creative soul that invades the warm balconies of this tango concert and come to greet us with a dreaming gesture..... Because it is very much of Tango this talented exhibition enjoys angels and devils, so that nothing goes unnoticed..."
- Horacio Ferrer, Poet & Lyricist, Creator of Nuevo Tango, Nobel Prize Nominee in Literature
