'Forever Tango' reflects history of dance
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Luis Bravo has been playing tango on guitar since he was 4. Trained as a classical cellist, he returned to his roots and found his path to big success."

This show sounds soulful and unique. It is a great idea to highlight two huge parts of the arts, dancing and music. The unique history of tango and the emotion wrapped into it is what makes this show unique.
"Music is the artistic expression of the whole culture. Dance is the artistic expression of music," Bravo says.
I am fasinated with the idea of making such an enriched show based off of dance, lyric and culture. I think that tango is a primarily fairly distincted type of dance and basing a show around it would be pretty anestically pleasing to the eye. The fact that the instruments are so unique gives a new flavour and sound to the show which is something I want to see, and more over, hear!
I love it when a performance has two different focuses. The tango music itself is so rich in history and can be enjoyed completely by itself, but the aspect of dance adds so much more to the show. This performance sounds like it succeeds in embodying a culture through music and dance.
