Café de los Maestros

CFF-PG certification
DOCUMENTARIES
Director: Miguel Kohan.
Argentina, 2008. 90 mins. Spanish with English subtitles.
With the return to democracy, Argentina is experiencing an extraordinary rebirth of its main national musical tradition, the Tango. CAFÉ DE LOS MAESTROS is the gathering of the greatest living legends of this formidable musical genre. These extraordinary men and women, ranging from 70 to 95 years old, reveal to us the mysteries and essence of this melancholic and sexy music. Acclaimed musician, producer and composer Gustavo Santaolalla (winner of 2 Academy Awards) leads us on a journey to bring together these unique "maestros". Reconstructing historical arrangements and recording unpublished material for the first time, the collaboration culminates with a grand performance of Tango music and dance at Buenos Aires’ famous Colon Theatre.
