Sofia Live Club will present a special milonga musicians Аlejandro Ziegler Cuarteto - a typical tango ensemble from Buenos Aires, quickly gaining popularity in Argentina and Europe with their incredible interpretation of the authentic argentine tango music! This is a rare opportunity to listen and dance to music performed live in the style of the greatest orchestras in the history of tango.



The term "milonga" has three meanings. First of all, a milonga is a social event or location for tango dancing. More simply, milongas are tango dance parties. People who dance at milongas are known as milongueros. When a group of people go tango dancing, they go to a milonga.
Secondly, milonga refers to a distinct style of tango. Although milonga uses the same basic elements as tango, it tends to be faster-paced and less complex. Milonga tends to place greater emphasis on the rhythm of the music. Dancers must strive to keep their bodies relaxed, as syncopated pauses are not made. There are two distinct styles of Milonga, Milonga Lisa and Milonga Traspie. In Milonga Lisa (Simple Milonga), dancers step on each beat of the music. In Milonga Traspies, dancers must transfer their weight from one foot to another, in double time to the music. Finally, milonga refers to a distict music genre. Milonga tango music is distinguished by its faster-paced beat, requiring dancers to take quicker steps.

Founder and director of the quartet is the pianist Alejandro Ziegler. Born in Buenos Aires he graduated from the UCA music university in composition and orquestral conducting. As a pianist he joined the famous Orquesta Escuela de Tango where he performed for more than 2 years under legendary conductors Emilio Balcarce and Nestor Marconi. 2007 saw the birth of Alejandro Ziegle Quartet. With this group of musicians he recreated tango classics as well as his own original compositions. Their repertoire of classical tango performed in the style of the most famous orquestras of all time, such as Troilo, Pugliese, Di Sarli and Piazzolla, was recorded on their first CD in 2008. 

Since then they have performed many times in Buenos Aires and toured extensively in Argentina and Europe. On 8th February they will play for the first time in Bulgaria bringing to Sofia through their performance The Golden Age of Tango with the original arrangements and the very distinct sound of the orchestras of that era.
