Dive into the enchanting world of Solidaridad Tango, where seven virtuoso musicians intertwine their artistry to redefine the very essence of passion and power. This all-women ensemble stands as a beacon of innovation in the world of Tango, bringing a fresh, vibrant perspective to a genre steeped in tradition. Founded in 2021 by Aparna Halpé, Solidaridad Tango isn't just a musical ensemble; it's a movement, a testament to the strength, grace, and resilience of women who have conquered the stage with refined artistry. These seven musicians, with diverse backgrounds and influences, seamlessly weave their individual styles into a tapestry of sound that is as bold as it is elegant. Solidaridad Tango is not just about the music; it's a celebration of empowerment, an ode to the resilience of women who have found their voice through the universal language of Tango. From the soulful melodies that linger to the rhythmic cadence, Solidaridad Tango is the new face of Tango music. With concerts that have spanned clubs, to halls, to international stages, their performances are not merely concerts; they are declarations of strength, unity, and the unyielding power of expression. Solidaridad is North America’s original all-woman, diversity-affirming tango ensemble.
As UK’s Songlines publication states, they are “packed with passion, oozing with originality, and played with perfection,” Solidaridad Tango invites you to witness the magic – a symphony of sisterhood, excitement, and empowerment that transcends boundaries and resonates with the beating heart of Tango. Join the movement; join the solidarity.
Solidaridad Tango also available in a 3 piece or 4 piece ensemble.
