Two to Tango
An 8-string guitarist and founding member of the Abaca String Band, Andrew Schulman is one of the more intrepid guitarists heard around New York these days, known for his versatility in a wide range of repertoire. He gives us a taste of that range today when he performs some live selections in the WNYC studio. We’ll hear a pair of Beatles arrangements and one of the scintillating "Choros" of Heitor Villa-Lobos, better known as the "Brazilian Tango." Speaking of tango, we’re joined in the second half of today’s program by Argentine pianist Mirian Conti, who is a featured artist at a three-day International Tango Competition sponsored by the Consulate General of Argentina. It’s often said that the tango is sublimated warfare – where elegance and ritual win out over darker impulses – and we’ll hear how the competition takes that premise to the ultimate extreme.
