The
passionate tango is one of the most popular musical styles to come from
Argentina, but few know of its distinctly Jewish immigrant beginnings,
created by Jewish musicians who fled Russia for Buenos Aires at the end
of the 19th century. Journalist Jose Judkovski blends musical recordings
and family memories, colorful stories and enticing performances,
bringing to light the tango's romantic history, its Jewish roots and
modern-day revival.
Screening with THE HONEYMOON SUITE.
