Isabel (voice) and Kaspar (bandoneon) met in Rotterdam in 2016, both studying in the master’s program at the World Music department of Codarts. As part of an artistic research, Kaspar was concentrating on the art of accompanying singers and other soloists on the bandoneon. This, in turn, was a good starting point to collaborate with a young multi-faceted singer, Isabel. After a short tryout phase, they decided to put together a program that consists of music from Latin America - Argentinian tangos and folklore and some hints from Cuban bolero.

 

Tango is an art of storytelling, the repertoire tells a story of Argentinian music, showing the different aspects embedded in its multi-cultured history.

This is a great opportunity to recreate the once-popular duo of bandoneon and voice – a combination that used to be a common performance practice in the history of tango. Kaspar and Isabel are both experienced musicians with a strong background in jazz and world music and are looking forward to taking you on a pleasurable and exciting journey to Latin America.
