Tango Legacy: Pablo Woiz
Enjoy the wonderful music of the Argentinian guitarist and singer Laico Ruiz and his guests. Ruiz presents tango and traditional latin music in a contemporary, intimate and authentic form.
Featuring Pablo Woiz on piano.
This project is rooted in the legacy of the legendary Salgán–De Lío duo, formed by Horacio Salgán and Ubaldo De Lío, whose conception of the dialogue between piano and electric guitar marked a turning point in the history of tango.
Drawing on this influence, Pablo Woiz (piano) and Laico Ruiz Dominguez (electric guitar) perform tango within this aesthetic lineage, one that has often remained overlooked within what is commonly understood as tango tradition. Their approach revisits and develops this language from a contemporary perspective, keeping the focus on interplay, structure, and expressive clarity.
Tango Legacy – Upcoming dates:
31.7.
7.8. Featuring David Hagen (Bass)
14.8.
