Zvezdoliki Ensemble - Maria De Buenos Aires

'Maria de Buenos Aires' is a raw and authentic version of the tango-operita by Piazzolla and Ferrer. An ensemble of 14 musicians and singers perform live in the studio, without a conductor, for a live audience.

Follow Z V E Z D O L I K I ensemble into the centre of Buenos Aires, and meet ill-fated Mar�a, born with a curse in her voice on a day when God was drunk. Seduced by tango, she is murdered, but her soul continues to roam the streets of Buenos Aires. Anti-clerical, blasphemous, potentially provocative and certainly scandalous, Maria de Buenos Aires (1968) is a forgotten tangoperita by �stor Piazzolla and Horacio Ferrer which translates the themes of seduction and fatality in traditional and nuevo tango, culminating in a hymn to (supernatural) deviance, lust, but also religiosity.
