My name is Eduardo Tami, I´m an argentine flutist specialized in tango music.
Now I start to organize the schedule for my next September / October
tour and want let you know my offering, in case you consider the
chance for host our visit.
Like usually, I travel with my group: A musicians trio (flute, piano
and guitar) plus a couple of dancers, trying to bring a little bit of
our culture trough the music, dance and with the contact with students.
This will be my 9th. tour and I already visited around 40 universities in USA.
Usually our hosts are Music, Spanish or Dance Depts. (or all
together), sometimes with the cooperation of students organizations.
The activities proposed are the following:
Language Depts.
A lecture for students enrolled in Spanish or other areas, e.g.:
Latin American Studies interested in the correlations between Tango
history and politics/economics events in Argentina from 1870 to
present. This is usually a recompilation of Contemporary Argentine
History and Lifestyle through Tango pieces played by the musicians
live, illustrated with powepoint images.
Depending on the students level I can do it in English, Spanish (or a mix)
Music Dept.
- A class for music students where we teach them how to play the
basics of a tango (the students are the ones who play the music and
based on my experience they enjoy it very much)
- A class for students enrolled in ”World Music” for general culture
(similar to the Language Dept. but in English and with more musical
elements)
- Classes for flute, piano or/and guitar students with tango resources
(it is not about the technical aspect of the instrument but
interpretation).
- I would like to invite some professors of the faculty to perform
with us a couple of pieces in our final concert. (I send the scores in
advance)
