One of the most important figures in 20^th-century music was born 100 years ago in Argentina: Astor Piazzolla, the musician who refreshed the language of tango with elements of jazz and classical music. Piazzolla’s achievement was within the grasp of very few: making music that was both incredibly popular and also praised by academics.

Musical Olvido Lanza and Juan Esteban Cuacci now come together to recreate the music of the bandoneon player and offer a review of his prolific career.

Lanza is one of the most renowned violinists in the country. She has performed with Carles Santos, Maria del Mar Bonet, Albert Guinovart, Alfonso de Vilallonga and many others. Meanwhile, pianist Cuacci played with tango singer Susana Rinaldi for over ten years.

The Mas i Mas Festival joins in the celebrations of “Piazzolla Year” with a tribute to the inventor of the style of "new tango."

Performers:

• Olvido Lanza - violin
• Juan Esteban Cuacci - piano
