Expo Kongo CINE Forum TANGO NEGRO

Projection du film " Tango Negro" les racines africaines du tango en présence du réalisateur Dom Pedro angolais vivant en France depuis déjà quelques années. D’après le journaliste Freddy Mulongo de Radio RéveilFM International, « Dom Pedro est actuellement celui qui représente le mieux l'Espace Kongo. L'homme est un grand défenseur de la Culture africaine. »

Tango Negro, African Roots of Tango by Angolan filmmaker Dom Pedro explores the expression of Tango’s Africanness and the contribution of African cultures in the creation of the tango. Tango was a reflection of the social life of the slaves that were taken to South America – including Argentina and Uruguay – mostly from central Africa, particularly from the former Kongo Kingdom. Director Dom Pedro reveals the depth of the footprints of the African music on the tango, through this rich movie combining musical performances and interviews from many tango fans and historians in Latin America and Europe, including the renowned Argentinean pianist Juan Carlos Caceres.
Directed by Dom Pedro, 2013, 93 min., France, Documentary , French/Spanish/ English subt.
