Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With his creation of "nuevo tango" in the 1950s, Astor Piazzolla revolutionised the Argentinian tango in a manner which not even his self-imposed semi-exile during the Videla dictatorship could quell.
In their interpretations of Piazzolla's most famous works, including "La Muerte Del Angel" and "Libertango", the ensemble led by cellist Jan Vogler recognises both the form's decadent morbidity and the jazz and modern classical influences Piazzolla introduced, most impressively in the 10-minute "Le Grand Tango", where they contribute respectively to its erotic abandonment and refined control. Elsewhere, the mannered "Four For Tango" features whip-like darts of violin.
