Tango musicians get a move one
Mr McFall’s Chamber, a music ensemble which plays a range of music from tango through jazz and rock to contemporary classical, first teamed up with Chilean singer Valentina Montoya Martinez in 1997. It was the start of a thrilling collaboration exploring the intricacy and intrigue of tango music.
Tonight, she will be joined by two of Paris’ finest tango musicians, bandoneón player Victor Villena and violinist Cyril Garac, for a programme of tango instrumentals and songs - including music by Piazzolla and songs of exile by Valentina.
