Orquestra Típica Ferdinand Fierro



Saturday 26 April 2008

We went to see this Argentine tango band last night - I know, I know, going to see a Argentine band in Ecuador? Well, Ryan had really wanted to see them before and never got the chance, so we figured we'd grab the chance now! They were very good modern tango, although the concert was a bit short. What was really neat was the theater. We saw the show in the Teatro Bolívar, which had a very very bad fire a few years back. The inside had clearly been gorgeous before the fire, although it is pretty simple and still very much in the process of restoration now. The really cool thing, though? After the fire, they didn't miss a single performance - the show had to go on! Now that's theater people.
