Length:
13 days |
| |
Linda Lee Thomas is returning to Buenos Aires in November 2010 for 13 days/12 nights insider’s tour of the popular sights, sounds and “milongas” (tango haunts) of this famous city. Linda Lee absolutely loves Buenos Aires, and wants to share her passion of tango, the people and musicians on her fourth escorted group tour. Visit the local neighbourhoods – La Boca, its famous street, “Caminito” where tango dancers assemble; Palermo, one of the biggest and prettiest districts of the city; Recoleta, famous for its cemetery and San Telmo, one of the oldest districts in the city housing artists and craftsmen. Evenings are full with Tango dinner and dance; visit the local night clubs and dance the night away! Venture out of the city to “Estancia El Ombu” and the ranch country. Spend the day horse back riding or cool off in the pool. Enjoy a delicious “asado” (barbecue) served with fine Argentine wines. This trip is designed for those wanting to experience or revisit the cultural experiences of the “Paris of the South” and practise your Spanish if you are so inclined!

Linda Lee Thomas
Linda Lee Thomas is Vancouver’s most eclectic pianist, a musician whose performances are infused with “subtlety, elegance and fire”. She is also affectionately known as “La Reina del Tango” since her bold emergence into the world of Argentina’s music and dance. Linda Lee is currently Principal Pianist for the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the CBC Radio Orchestra. In 2000, she was inducted into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame for her outstanding contributions to the industry.
Since hearing Astor Piazzolla in 1988, Thomas has been passionately drawn to the music and dance of Argentine Tango. She has been to Buenos Aires numerous times to experience first-hand the magic of Tango. In 2003 she formed “Tangissimo” which has become Canada's leading Tango Trio. In 2006, the trio filmed the documentary "Chasing the Tango High" for Infinity Films in Buenos Aires. There they met and performed with Argentina's legendary tango musicians. Their first CD "Tangissimo Live" was chosen by Radio-Canada's Espace Musique as one of the best recordings of 2004." Her newest CD, “Tango Magic” was released in August 2008.
