about

This is Tango, a music that incessantly speaks of life, of existences, of human affairs. And so playing it, interpreting it, is like telling stories, which open and close, in the short span of an emotion.

In this immense narrative epic, each piece arises from singular circumstances, from the intersection of more or less fortunate destinies, and spans more than a century of music, from the first compositions of the "Guardia Vieja" to the contemporary tango nuevo, always on the edge between sanguine life and deep meditation.

The Colores de Tango project is thus the musical synthesis of these two dimensions, the popular and the introspective, which come together in the encounter of two sonorities that represent and often exchange roles, exploring both of the two musical worlds just described.

The accordion, diatonic like the traditional Argentine bandoneón, brings the sounds wrested from the bellows, the lyrical breath of the bandoneón sound, and the rich chordal harmonizations. A project that finally brings the diatonic accordion, after long years of oblivion, back to the center of a musical discourse that transcends the narrow limits of folk music.

The cello, brings with it the solidity of bass lines, the singing of strings, rhythmic percussion and guttural sounds at the bridge.

Gianni Ventola Danese (diatonic accordion, arrangements). A multi-instrumentalist, teacher and music author, he comes from classical music studies, first on piano and then with a long involvement in professional choral ensembles with which he recorded two record works. In 2000 he embarked on the study of the diatonic accordion, at first tackling the broad folk repertoire typical of this instrument, later embarking on an autonomous path of in-depth study that led him to revolutionize its repertoire and technique. Thanks to his work, the accordion for the first time crosses the strictly folk sphere and arrives at new and unusual musical horizons: klezmer, jazz, tango, classical, and arrangements of auteur music. He is founder and president of the Mantice Academy and editorial manager of the most important European portal on the accordion (www.organetto.info).
