“…this is one of the most stupendous and drop-dead-sexy displays of tango – nay, of any type of dancing – that you are likely to see all year.” The Telegraph, London Quarteto Fuego spectacularly manages the music, with each of its four musicians exceptional in his own right. Playing music by a variety of composers — including tango masters Piazzolla, Pugliese and Gardel — the band of piano, bandoneon, violin and bass is the dynamic foundation and harmonious link between dancers and audience. Singer Jesus Hidalgo’s mournfully rich, vibrant and velvet voice takes the audience to the 1950s, accentuating the sentimentality of the show’s vintage flavor with a smooth singing style. The Tango Fire Company of Buenos Aires made its world premiere in Singapore at the Esplanade in 2005, the same year
the show debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, receiving rave reviews. That led to engagements in the most prestigious venues worldwide. In the past 12 years, Tango Fire has toured extensively as the world’s leading tango company — a true global phenomenon.
