Shortlisted piece Desaparecido

A tango inspired piece conjuring images of a Buenos Aires night club, with the passion, fire and lust of a romantic dance-off between two people. A modern take on the style with a twist, combining inspiration from different worlds of Piazzolla, Debussy and Radiohead.
