Musical Migrants - Series 1 - From Belgium to Buenos Aires

Logo for Musical Migrants - Series 1 - From Belgium to Buenos Aires

Stories of people who relocated to other countries, influenced by music. Despite having little interest in Argentina or tango music, Belgian bandoneon player Eva Wolff won a scholarship and arrived in Buenos Aires in 2002, soon after Argentina's catastrophic economic meltdown. The slump triggered a post-crisis tango renaissance and, as Eva relates, the tango scene is now more vital than at any time since it first developed in the city's slums.
