OLIVIER MANOURY-
ENRIQUE PASCUAL DUO

OLIVIER MANOURY and ENRIQUE PASCUAL met ftrst in 1980 and have played together ever since, either as a duo, accompanying singers or as members of TANGONEON quartett which they founded in 1988. They played all over Europe and especially in France, Germany and Scandinavia.
Unlike the experimental TANGONEON which fusions Tango with Jazz and Uruguayan Candombe, OLIVIER MANOURY- ENRIQUE PASCUAL DUO is traditionally oriented.

Its repertoire spans over the 1920- 1960 period, emphathising the tango "golden age" of the fourties. Outside of any revival fashion, this duo does not imitate the various styles of the past but offers an authentic and yet original interpretation of the most beautiful Tangos, bringing out their melodic and harmonic richness, where swing and feeling takes priority over arrangements


ENRIQUE PASCUAL was born in 1939 in Montevideo. He bas played in many jazz, Bossa nova andTango groups in Uruguay,Argentina,Brasil and other Latin American countries
He bas been living in France since 1979 and bas played in most European countries. He founded the group RIO DE LA PLATA he is co-founder of TANGONEON and leads ENRIQUE PASCUAL JAZZ TRIO.
Owing to his spontaneous phrasing and to the freedom and richness of his harmonies he is one of the most original contemporary tango pianists.
