16.01.2008: Salsa and Tango News
The new year has arrived, the days are starting to become longer in Germany, and we are looking forward to the time coming. Well, it’s never boring at Danza y Movimiento anyway, because there is always new and exciting material reaching our warehouse.
Today, we would like to present some interesting productions, for Salsa fans and for lovers of Tango.
1. Tango: The “Ensemble Hyperion” from Italy
2. Salsa: César "Chino" Pérez: Ciudadano del Mundo/ Citizen of the World
1. Tango: The “Ensemble Hyperion” from Italy
A short while ago, we presented the CD "A mi Esposa" by Luis Stazo (former bandoneón player of Sexteto Mayor).
Luis Stazo: A Mi Esposa
We then became aware of another Tango ensemble in which Luis Stazo also participates, the
Ensemble Hyperion, we do not want to withhold from our readers.
Since its conception in 1992, the Hyperion Ensemble has developed a wide repertory of tango music and has performed at festivals, theaters, tango parties, and concert halls all over Europe, with more than 500 performances. The Ensemble has collaborated with various bandoneonists as Luis Stazo, Daniel Binelli, Alfredo Marcucci, Josè Luis Betancor, Matías González, Camilo Ferrero, Peter Reil, Hector Raul "Tito" Cartechini, and others. These fruitful collaborations has added a deeper dimension to the Hyperion Ensemble's already intense, artistic character.
Hyperion's most notable appearances have been in: VI Cumbre Internacional Del Tango Sevilla 2005, Festival Couleurs Tango Paris Salle Wagram, London Battersea Arts centre, Lausanne Festival Internazionale Tangofolie 1995 and other festivals in France, Sweden, Spain, Italy and Germany.
In the month of may 2004 Hyperion has produced the show "Boulevard Tango", with 4 couples of dancers, which has been performed in the last two years in several italian theaters. In summer 2005 Hyperion began the collaboration with an important dance company; AllthatTango, directed by Sebastian Arce and Mariana Montes. In summer 2005 the Ensemble also took part in the show "Tango Nuevo" with Roberto Herrera, and in the show "Tango Metropolis" with Claudio Hoffmann and the renowned bandoneonist Daniel Binelli.

2. Salsa: César "Chino" Pérez: Ciudadano del Mundo/ Citizen of the World
César Pérez is from Venezuela, but has lived in Germany for some time now (where he also plays in the band of the popular TV show TV Total). His first CD "Amigo Incondicional", was released in 2005
César "Chino" Pérez: Amigo Incondicional
and critics, DJs and dancers and, of course, Danza y Movimiento loved it. At last, there is a new album with the title "Ciudadano del Mundo/ Citizen of the World". His music took César Pérez to many different parts of the world, indeed. So we are quite proud, that Germany is the breeding ground for his first-class Salsa productions. The band leader does not only play the trombone but sings with a fabulous disarming voice. Listen to it, dance, buy it, make a present: you shouldn’t miss out on this CD:
César "Chino" Pérez: Ciudadano del Mundo/ Citizen of the World
We wish you a happy and successful year 2008!
Kind regards from Hamburg
