Quartet "Las Felinas del Tango" are four female musicians from University for music from Gradec (Austria).
Las Felinas:
We founded our tango quartet “Las Felinas del Tango” (cats, vixens,…) in 2004 in Gradec/Graz (Austria). The late Klaus Johns (2004†), until recently the mentor of international “Tanguango” orchestra in which we still take part in, was a professor at the University of Music, and also “the father of tango in Austria”. It was also mainly his fault that we fell in love with tango. Most of the works we perform are his arrangements.
Each one of us brings her own love and character into the quartet, what clearly shows at rehearsals:
- perfectionism: This is not quite perfect.
- temperament: Ouch, bit my tongue!
- flexibility: Let’s play this a little bit slower so chubby will also dance!
- optimism: We can do this!
PROGRAM for the Thursday's MILONGA: repertoar is built on traditional tangos, valses and milongas (Julian Plaza, Osvaldo Pugliese,...), together with neuer tangos (Astor Piazzolla). Almost all songs were aranged by Klaus Johns.
