Rarely have I experienced a more harmonious and appealing literary festival. Three authors
with backgrounds from different regions, two great musicians, an audience ready for discoveries
and a knowledgeable host to guide the audience through the program; everything fitted together.
Nicola Lutz, saxophones, and Ina Henning, accordion, provided lovely music with their wonderful
Duo Tangotopia. The two musicians combine Tango and Klezmer music into a new and extraordinary
sound, which unites the melancholy of Argentinian suburbs with the liveliness of the eastern
Jewish townships and conveys the whole spectrum of emotions from great cheerfulness to deep
dejection.
The host, Gudrun Fuchs, complimented the musicians of Tangotopia on "putting stories full
of longing, love, pain, and redemption, in the perspective of different musical traditions."

The Tango [...] has acquired with a new face. The melodies spoke suggestively to the audience.
One could imagine dancing couples.
