MSPIFF Preview Screening Thursday, March 27

Join us for an MSPIFF preview screening of THE HIDDEN SOUND OF TANGO (EL SONIDO DE ANTES) by Yael Szmulewicz at The Main Cinema. The artists, Juan Villarreal and Patricio Crom from Buenos Aires, will be with us for the film, a talkback, and a performance in the theater.

Juan Villarreal and Patricio Crom began their activity in 2010, playing tangos in milongas and clubs in Buenos Aires. From the beginning, the Villarreal Crom duo tried to find a unique aesthetic and style that, over the years and recordings, solidified the sound that characterizes them.

Today, they are one of the most recognized duos in the tango scene in Buenos Aires and the world, having embarked on countless tours across Latin America, Europe, and the United States. And having participated in numerous festivals and venues such as the CCK Symphonic Hall "Ballena Azul" in Buenos Aires, La Locura Tango Musik Festival in Innsbruck Austria, Lyon Tango Festival and Philadelphia Tango Festival among others.

They have released 5 albums: “De corte romántico (2012),” “Cinco otoños (2015),” “En la luna de Valencia (2017),” “D’Arienzo en guitarras (2022),” and their latest work “Moderno trovador (2023),” which consists entirely of their own compositions.

Presented in collaboration with Twin Cities Tango Collective and Bataclan Tango:

ABOUT THE FILM

After obtaining an old Boca de Estrella guitar like the one played by tango icon Carlos Gardel, tango musician/guitar collector Patricio Crom sets out to restore the instrument and discover its true sound—and then use it in a concert featuring some of today’s best Argentine tango guitarists. Along the way, Crom explores the different techniques of guitar playing, the challenges of guitar building and restoration, and the enduring passion for Carlos Gardel.
