From the traditional through to the revolutionary "nuevo tango" style works of Argentinian composer Ástor Piazzolla - New Zealand group called Aotango is about to present A Century of Tango.
Born in Argentina, the Tango is one of many "dances of love" from Latin America, always with that distinctive syncopated rhythm.
Aotango features some highly respected musicians, including APO Concertmaster Andrew Beer on violin, pianist Somi Kim, double bassist Gordon Hill, jazz guitarist Sam Swindells and world champion accordion player Grayson Masefield.
Grayson talks with Lynn Freeman about A Century of Tango, a musical journey through the evolution of tango.
It starts on 21 November at the Warkworth Town Hall before heading to Takapuna, Howick and Hamilton.
