Tango Fantasia takes you on a passionate tango journey from the grand salons of Buenos Aires to the streets of Toronto. Featuring music from Piazzolla to the present, performed by Canada’s first allwomen tango ensemble, with captivating dance performances by local professional tango artists, this show is a close embrace of life.
Nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards in 2025, Solidaridad Tango is North America’s original all-woman, diversity-affirming tango ensemble. It was founded in 2021 by Aparna Halpé, to create fair work, professional development, and performance opportunities for women tango musicians. Trained in historical tango performance practice focusing on Golden Age styles, Solidaridad is proud to present new music by women tango composers from around the world. Playing sold out performances in Toronto, Oregon, and New York, and hot off their debut tour in Buenos Aires, playing sold out shows in iconic tango venues such as Café Vinilo and Hasta Trilce, Solidaridad has been described as “bringing tango forward” by Laura Fernandez, host of Jazz FM 91’s Café Latino.
Dive into the enchanting world of Solidaridad Tango, where virtuoso musicians intertwine their artistry to redefine the very essence of passion and power. This all-women ensemble is a beacon of innovation in the world of tango. With concerts that have spanned clubs, halls, schools and international stages, their performances are not merely concerts, they are declarations of strength, unity, and the unyielding power of women’s expression. Join the movement; join the solidarity.
“Packed with passion, oozing with originality, and played with perfection, DISTANCIA is an exciting listen from musicians unafraid of boundaries”
