LIONEL SUAREZ QUARTETO GARDEL (Segal - Besson - Garay)

Lionel SUAREZ, accordion/ Vincent SEGAL, cello /Airelle BESSON, trumpet /Minino GARAY, percussions

Straight from childhood, accordionist Lionel Suarez's attachment to the work of Argentine tango master Carlos Gardel has irresistibly led him to revisit his repertoire to extract its very essence. Between modesty and expression, passion and melancholy, all the intense contrasts of tango emerge from the bellows of the accordion, backed by an exceptional quartet.

In this tribute concert, accompanied by Vincent Segal, Minino Garay and Airelle Besson, Lionel Suarez succeeds in bringing together a top-notch band around the universe of the man who will always be remembered as the greatest of all tango singers. Airelle Besson - Victoires du Jazz 2015 - Vincent Segal - a tireless explorer of world sounds - and Minino Garay - who never takes his percussion far from his native Argentina.

An original instrumentation and the meeting of four outstanding personalities of the current French musical scene, who refresh a mythical repertoire through the prism of their singular careers.

Between inspired compositions and dizzying arrangements, this exceptional quartet has gone in search of what is most essential in tango: its ability to set emotions free.
