Tango Negro: Slavery on Film
Angolan filmmaker Dom Pedro explores the expression of the tango's African-ness and the contribution of African cultures to the creation of the tango. Tango was a reflection of the social life of the slaves who were taken to South America from central Africa. The film reveals the depth of the footprints of African music on the tango through a combination of musical performances and interviews from many tango fans and historians in Latin America and Europe, including the renowned Argentinean pianist Juan Carlos Caceres.
The screening is part of a series of films exploring slavery and Africa, hosted by the Africa in Motion Film Festival. The other two films in the series are "They Are We" (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/686481) and "The Price of Memory" (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/686484).
