Following a sold-out performance at the famed "Ballena Azul," in Buenos Aires, Leonardo Suarez Paz, the multifaceted “virtuoso extraordinaire,” (Wynton Marsalis) brings his show to NYU Skirball.  A 16-member cast with Nuevo Tango Ensemble and Nuevo Tango Ballet, share a new vision of this emotionally moving art form, while honoring Leonardo’s mentor, Astor Piazzolla, by demonstrating Tango as an evolving, daring, artistically complex and emotionally moving art form.

THE ARTISTS


We are an artist run company which celebrates multiple cultural heritages and the contributions of immigrants as the primary ingredients that formed and continue to shape this art form in conjunction with the local cultures which added to the creation of a rich cultural milieu. Nuevo Tango is a genre that speaks across cultures and generations. These are our stories....

“Virtuoso extraordinaire,” Leonardo Suarez Paz, creates across cultures and genres, continuing a family legacy of over 100 years in the genre, beginning with Gabino Ezeiza to Fernando Suarez Paz who was instrumental in creating the Nuevo Tango  alongside Piazzolla.  A member of the Orquesta Estable del Teatro Colon, Leonardo's work as a soloist includes the most distinguished tango orchestras such as those of  Mariano Mores, Horacio Salgan, Atilio Stampone, Osvaldo Berlingieri and the shows Tangox2 and Perfumes de Tango where he was also featured as a dancer. He was the soloist in both Broadway tango shows Forever Tango and Tango Argentino, with Placido Domingo, Ruben Blades, Carlos Franzetti, Patience Higgins, Jim Hall, Kenny Drew Jr., Steve Kuhn, Savion Glover and many others.  Leonardo “shows us how easily we can communicate across cultures if the desire and effort are there.”   (Wynton Marsalis, Artistic Director Jazz at Lincoln Center)

is to further the genre of Nuevo Tango by elevating its artistic standards through live performances, recordings, publications and education, by demonstrating its evolution as an entire culture through every form of expression - music, dance, interdisciplinary work, visual art, literature and cinema. We celebrate Latin, African and European cultural heritages, the contributions of immigrants  and women to the genre, while relating its history to Buenos Aires and New York City and affording an opportunity for artists across generations, cultures, genres and disciplines to create new work
​and express through a renewed artistic idiom of cultural unity and inclusion.​

Leonardo Suarez Paz is surely now the torchbearer of Argentine Tango and the legacy of its greatest composer, Astor Piazzolla.
- All About Jazz
Leonardo Suarez Paz is Tango Royalty... ​powerful and sensual.
- All About Jazz
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
- GRAMOPHONE, UK 
His knowledge of the tango violin playing conveys a century of individual styles.
