Gulden Ozen Events Committee Triangle Tangueros www.triangletangueros.org (919)402-9562 ------------------------------- About Fernanda & Guillermo: Fernanda & Guillermo have been featured with the dance companies of "Tango Vivo" and "Tangoing", have appeared in the Sony Productions video - "Tango Magic", have been instructors at the International Tango Congress in Buenos Aires (C.I.T.A.), US Tango Congress in Miami, London International Tango Festival, the International Tango Festival in Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem. They were the World Champions in Argentine Tango at IDO 1999. "It happens I've known Guillermo since 1990, when he was a young star in the Copes company. He went on to "Forever Tango," then he and Fernanda found each other and he really started to come into his own (in the Tango way!) Guillermo has a fast and athletic style and is a polished stage performer - but really he just loves to dance (this is meant as an ultimate compliment). Fernanda is an extraordinary woman; creative, gifted, blessed with talent and skills. Their classes are worth so full of value and insight. They teach things others either never thought of or weren't able to conceive. They do workshops that bring your body along with your mind, so to speak. Of particular note is their ability to communicate how partners communicate. With their stage work, they push the boundaries in ways that astonish. They exude strength, style, character, humor and personality. They are living and making a history that is adding excitement and depth to the Tango world." Keith Elshaw - "ToTANGO.net" "Tango is much more than a bunch of steps; tango is a way to communicate using your body, tango is an embrace for three minutes and tango is the dance of expression with infinite emotions". Fernanda & Guillermo. About Tango Lorca: In October '97, Christine Brebes (violin) and Beau Bledsoe (guitar) formed a unique classical chamber ensemble specializing in the music of Latin cultures. Named after the Spanish poet, Federico Garcia Lorca, Duo Lorca has created a new repertoire of original guitar and violin arrangements of many classical works, as well as Argentine Tangos, Spanish flamenco dances and Latin-American folk songs. With over 230 performances last year alone, Duo Lorca has successfully combined virtuosic ability with highly original programming to assure the audience a truly captivating performance. Duo Lorca has formed "Tango Lorca" by having Brad Cox - piano and Pablo Motta - bass join the duo. For their performance in the Triangle, Tango Lorca will be featuring Dan Diaz on the bandoneon! About Dan Diaz: "Dan Diaz and the Tango Camerata: Dan Diaz is leading a modern-era dance orchestra that has some elements of the progressive (Pugliese/Piazzolla/Salgan) sound but has adhered to more of golden age dance rhythm even when playing Piazzolla's music." - "A DJ's Guide to post-Golden-Age recordings" by Stephen Brown. He was born in San Nicolas, Buenos Aires Province in Argentina and started his studies of music at age six under the tutelage of Bandoneon Master Arcangel Juan Stefano and the great bandoneon master Ciriaco Ortiz.
