THANK YOU, Kathryn Johns [email protected] 843-901-0685 My name is Eduardo Tami, I´m an Argentine flutist specializing in tango music . www.eduardotami.com.ar
Now I am organizing my schedule for our September / October 2012 tour and let you know my offering, in case you are interested in hosting our visit. I travel with my group: A musicians trio (flute, piano and guitar) plus a couple of dancers, trying to bring a little bit of our culture through the music, dance and with the contact with students. This will be my 11th. tour and I have already visited around 60 universities in the USA. Generally our hosts are Music, Spanish or Dance Depts. (or all together), sometimes with the cooperation of student's organizations. For the final concert, this year´s novelty is that you can choose between our traditional repertoire consisting of Tango, Milonga, Waltz and Candombe, or a new one which includes (in around half concert) another music from the Argentine and other countries in Latin America folklore. The activities proposed are the following: Language Depts. A lecture for students enrolled in Spanish or other areas, e.g.: Latin American Studies interested in the correlations between Tango history and politics/economics events in Argentina from 1870 to present. This is usually a recompilation of Contemporary Argentine History and Lifestyle through Tango pieces played by the musicians(live), illustrated with powepoint images. Depending on the students level, I can do it in English, Spanish (or a mix) Music Dept. - A class for music students where we teach them how to play the basics of a tango (the students are the ones who play the music and based on my experience they enjoy it very much) - A class for students enrolled in "World Music" for general culture (similar to the Language Dept. but in English and with more musical elements) - Classes for flute, piano or/and guitar students with tango resources (it is not about the technical aspect of the instrument but interpretation). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8bJkY9fXZU&feature=youtu.be - I would like to invite some professors of the faculty to perform with us a couple of pieces in our final concert. (I send the scores in advance) http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez-tF9HGHTs&feature=user In Mansfield University (Pennsylvania) with flute professor Dr. Moulton Dance Dept.
