Richard Galliano, the grand master of accordion, and his friends, musicians from Venezuela, the United States and from Europe, make up the quartet called Tangaria. Tango and Aria or in other words Piazzolla and Bach, who represent the eternal as well as a fresh source of inspiration in the most recent project of the versatile Galliano susceptible to different kinds of music ranging from classical music to jazz. After having met Galliano, two exceptional musicians from Venezuela decided to join him in the Tangaria project. The violinist, Alexis Cardenas, finished music conservatory in Venezuela, then continued his studies at the prestigious Julliard School of Music in New York. Winning the competition of violinists organized by the Paris Music Conservatory opened for him the doors of numerous concert halls. While following the path of a classical solo violinist, he is also dedicating his love and enthusiasm, virtuosity and exceptional sense for improvisation to other kinds of music, especially jazz. The percussion player, Rafael Mejias, is a classically educated musician too; he is a trumpet as well as percussion player. Before deciding for percussion and jazz, he used to play the trumpet in the Arague Symphony Orchestra. The trio had a very lucky hand in choosing the double bass player. Philippe Aerts, known for his long standing collaboration with the world famous Belgian guitar player Philip Catherine, fascinates us with his brilliant, rhythmical and melodious accompaniment and technical perfection even in compositions such as the fabulous arrangement of Satie’s Gnossienne No. 3.The music trip with the Tangaria Quartet will take us to places with different atmospheres and music: from the full blooded Caracas and Rio to the European classic sophistication, to the liveliness of Paris or Naples and back again to the passionate and ecstatic music of Buenos Aires.
