 On 26th December, Radio Finland ran a special program about the new double album by Guardia Nueva "Tangokonzert Berlin Philharmonie"The Guardia Nueva Tango Orchestra (Director Raimo Vertainen - picture left), from Ostrobothnia, Finland, performed the concert on Friday 6th June at the Chamber Music Hall, Berlin Philharmonic. The repertoire included Astor Piazzolla, Richard Galliano, Gotan Project, and Finnish Tangos all specifically arranged for this orchestra with this concert being the first Finnish tango orchestra event ever performed at the Berlin Philharmonic. The Guardia Nueva orchestra performed in their unique way, complementing the habanera rhythm with soft accordion sounds and tempting Scandinavian vocalists showcasing the strong Finnish tango tradition, developed during more than 80 years. At times, half of the entries in the popular music charts in Finland have been occupied by tangos. The traditional themes of love and sorrow are complemented with the unique Scandinavian nature and landscape. Finland also hosts the world's oldest tango festival, held annually to find the country's best tango singers, composers, and dancers. Picture below at the concert with Raimo Vertainen on accordina. Two CD and eTracks albums available online at: Guardia Nueva |
