JAANA HANNINEN (Fin.)

tango tinto

Lavorare come Tango DJ ha sviluppato in me una grande fonte di gioia come la danza stessa del Tango. Ho iniziato la mia vita di tango più di 10 anni fa e da allora sono stata attiva nella comunità tanguera in Finlandia e all'estero. Nelle mie selezioni musicali prediligo musica tradizionale dagli anni ‘20 fino a metà degli anni ‘50 suddivisa in tandas classiche con Cortinas, cercando di dare una particolare attenzione anche alle cortine, scegliendo la migliore musica per il momento, il luogo e i ballerini. Trovo una sfida eccitante quella di creare e mantenere viva la voglia di ballare, l'energia e il grande spirito della milonga attraverso musica. Durante la riproduzione dei brani musicali mostro anche il nome dell'orchestra che sta suonando e quella che seguirà. Sono aperta anche ai desideri dei ballerini.

ARIA CORTE (IT)

aria corte

Popular music of Salento, 20 years on stages in Italy, Europe and the world to play and sing the love for their land, with the aim of keeping alive the oral tradition and popular culture of the region of Apulia. A music that, despite having ancient roots, looks like a reinterpretation of traditional forms of popular music culture in relation to a new expression and a modern identity. Ancient instruments like the tambourine frame and tammorra beat the rhythm of "pinches" agreeing, without interruption, with the rest of the instrumentation panel. The sound flows remains typical of the Salento but the complexity of orchestra, produces a distinct sound plot, where ancestral sounds made of rhythms, harmonies and melodies, kept alive by the time spent in tradition of an old will take place without inhibiting outpourings. The harmonious blend of voices, supported by the sounds of the language of the musical instruments, the liveliness of the arrangements and the stage presence of some dancers give to their show an increasing emotional intensity that approaches a dynamic pace and flourishing.
