I am most happy to invite you for the 7th Int. tangofestival Doble Ocho !!
In March 2010 Nijmegen will be transformed to Buenos Aires at the River Waal ! The 7th Int. Tangofestival Doble Ocho will transform Holland’s oldest city into Tango-City starting with a special pre-programme celebrating the 200 year existence of the Republic of Argentine.
The renewing quintet Tango Extremo will kick-off the tangofestival on march 17 with their theatre show ‘Carnaval de Buenos Aires’. Also the TangoFusion Music JAM will take place that day in Lindenberg café 23 offering an interactive experience and process of improvisation and creation between the musicians and the dancers. For this event Gustavo Mozzi and Latin Grammy Award winner Facundo Guevara (ARG) is invited. Thursday is fusion day and the famous Tango electro band TANGHETTO will give their concert in the beautiful WAALZAAL of the Nijmegen theatre. TANGHETTO recently won the prestigious Carlos Gardel Award in Argentine. For visuals the German Tanguerilla offers ‘a visual concept lounge with interactive video-Installations and immerging space-concept’.
Friday is the traditional presentation of the winner of the tangomusic Contest during the salon at night, where Rafaël and Susanne will perform. The winner is chosen in the afternoon by a professional jury. Saturday the GRAN NOCHE will make your feet tired and your ears longing for even more Music. This evening the Berlin based Puro Apronte will make you dance non stop, with well known Bandoneonplayer Michael Reil. The only break will be for the show of the Maestro’s of the festival. Switch dancefloors when you like, there is a special fusion floor with DJ Arthur ( Yes, he is back at doble ocho ! ) And after a few hours of sleep, the tangocafé will offer another live music experience, followed by the farewell salon in, finally, El Corte !!
With a warm welcome !

Doble Ocho festival review 0 reacties
Dear Tango Friends,
The festival is over. But not in many hearts and minds of so many visitors that came to a sunny Nijmegen to dance easter away on 5 days and nights covered with sun, warmth and a smile. Everybody experienced her or his special Doble Ocho moment, shared or alone, but most likely in an embrace in a tangocafe, a fusion song, a classic milonga, on live music, on vibrations from inside. We all embraced a new winner of the music concurso (Quinteto Arrastre )and where pushed up to energetic heights by the Astillero crew. Carefully made steps on vinyl records mastered and selected by DJ JUR on friday, re-discovering the origins of recorded music through the scratches that occured randomly when we bumped too hard near the DJ's spot. Lindenberg cafe gave us the cafe atmosphere that balanced the GRAN NOCHE feeling of he ART DECO Vereeniging locations. Dancing still small and carefull, like it was a chained salon saturday climax moment. Eric and Henry surprised us again on friday in their mass workshop, and Alexander Zabara caught the light in between transforming the dance into an art of movement displayed in his magical work of photography. And Stefan just couldn't stop on sunday, afraid of finishing this high energy goodbye salon. But a goodbye is necessary to meet again, and that we meet again is sure for tangofriends.
