A daring album: Inspired by once forbidden dances, Ensemble La Ninfea combines things that don't actually belong together - tango & chaconne, sarabande & waltz, from Monteverdi to Mozart, from Handel to Piazzolla. These dances have never been heard like this before! This Anniversary Album celebrates 15 years of Ensemble La Ninfea! DANZAS – from Taboo to Triumph: Initially frowned upon and forbidden, then socially accepted and the height of fashion: the infectious rhythms of dances imported from Latin America conquered all of Europe and led to a kind of dance mania. This arrived in several waves - around 1600 for the sarabande and ciaccona, then around 1900 for the tango. Some celebrated this liberation of the body, others saw it as the downfall of the West. Despite being at times banned by the authorities, their popularity was not reduced. In this “crossover” project by La Ninfea, the genres and dances meet and mix. Historical dances suddenly turn into tangos, while a tango shows itself in baroque dress - a musical bridge spanning centuries and social conventions.
