"Homenaje del Hijo al Padre" - special presentation at "PIAZZOLLA 25 Años Festival" dedicated to Piazzolla's violinist and Leonardo's father - Fernando Suarez Paz.
Centro Cultural Kirchner, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Powerful and sensual. Leonardo Suarez Paz is surely now the torchbearer of Argentine Tango and the legacy of its greatest composer, Astor Piazzolla. Leonardo Suarez Paz - Tango Master of the 21st Century. In Leonardo's hands, it merges deftly with jazz. Feel that Piazzolla is more alive than ever. Suarez Paz … best last names of the tango legacy. 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. |
The harmonically sophisticated arrangements by Leonardo Suárez Paz are superb, as is his sardonic Milonga de los monsters – an unlikely yet happy marriage of Prokofiev and tango nuevo. A magnificent performance filled with all the virtues of tango. Suarez Paz’s father, a brilliant tango violinist, had been one of Piazzolla’s principal collaborators, and from the first bar it was clear that the father and the son were made of the same stuff. Leonardo Suarez Paz is tango royalty. They played with enormous passion, performing three pieces by Suárez Paz's mentor, Astor Piazzolla... Suárez Paz sang the beautiful ballad, joined by his wife, Olga Suárez Paz... Paz's singing voice is gorgeous... brought loud cheers from the audience. |
Leonardo Suarez Paz continues to elevate and modernize the genre, taking it to the forefront of 21st Century in this new production which features Suarez Paz as a soloist along with guest jazz artists, the Latin GRAMMY nominated Cuartetango String Quartet, electric strings, percussion, bandoneon, piano, vocals, tango dance and members of Nuevo Tango Ballet with choreographies by the ACE award winning artist, Laura Roatta and Olga Suarez Paz. El Nuevo Tango is an an electrifying interdisciplinary concert that is "powerful and sensual" (All About Jazz, UK).
"Incredible" (CLARIN), is how the press describes Suarez Paz's groundbreaking style and this program is a bright example of that with a number of "firsts," that expand the genre's traditional gender roles and artistic traditions.
Initially produced by Suarez Paz as a special program to close the "Piazzolla 25 Años" Festival in Buenos Aires (CCK), in homage to Piazzolla and his violinist Fernando Suarez Paz, the concert was recommended as one of the top events in the city of Buenos Aires and played to a sold out house, making everyone "feel that Piazzolla is more alive then ever" (Teleshow, BsAs).
Leonardo Suarez Paz, "virtuoso extraordinaire on the violin" (Wynton Marsalis) star of multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy Awarded albums (Placido Domingo, Ruben Blades, Luis Miguel), was born into a cradle of tango and grew up among its stars in a time of the tango revolution. His mentors and family friends - Astor Piazzolla, Horacio Ferrer and his father, Fernando Suarez Paz passed along to him their vision and their dreams. His journey took him from his artistic debut at the age of 6 as a singer, to becoming the youngest member of the Teatro Colon Opera House at age 16 as a violinist, to plying as a soloist and dancing with all of the major tango stars such as Mariano Mores, Horacio Salgan, Atilio Stampone to playing jazz with with Jim Hall, Kenny Drew Jr., Stanley Jordan, Steve Kuhn and Savion Glover, to arranging for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. He embodies all that is part of this complex genre today, inspired by everything that surrounded him since childhood, he is the music, the song, the poetry and the dance of Buenos Aires, the past in his heart and and one foot in the future, he is Leonardo Suarez Paz - EL NUEVO TANGO.
