Grand tango feast to entertain major Chinese cities

Hailing from Argentina and Uruguay, the birthplaces of tango, the Tango Lovers Company brings its award-winning production I Am Tango to major Chinese cities including Xi'an, Chongqing and Guangzhou, with a troupe of 28 world-class tango musicians, dancers and singers.

As a new brainchild of the company, I Am Tango features a fine fusion of music, dance, costumes, lighting and multimedia to tell a story about how the titular character Tango, represented by a bandoneon player, travels through different times and situations in search of identity.

Founded by Uruguayan singer Alfredo Lerida, Tango Lovers is recognized by the Uruguayan government as a national brand.
