Who hasn't dreamed of celebrating the new year in the tropics?

This is the destination that Benjamin Levy invites us to embark on, in a whirlwind of rhythms and colors under the sign of Latin American dances.

From George Gershwin's Cuban Overture to the syncopated bursts of Leonard Bernstein's Mambo, each piece celebrates the energy of movement and the richness of popular traditions. Arturo Márquez's Danzón No. 2 and Conga del Fuego Nuevo pay homage to Mexican rhythms, while Ginastera and Revueltas capture the soul of Argentine and Mayan lands.
The enchanting Tico-Tico no Fubá and Dança brasileira make Brazil vibrate, when Cyrille Lehn's Le Carnaval de Saint-Pierre and the arrangement of Vai lavar a cara galopin add a touch of mystery to this incandescent program where dance, alternately sensual, exalted and intoxicating, becomes the common thread of an effervescent musical journey.
