Alejandro Bettinotti (July 10, 19622 - May 23, 2022)³ was an Argentine documentary filmmaker, singer-songwriter, composer and pianist.

Biography[edit]

With a thirty-year trajectory in music, he came merging tango, rock and popular music, taking his particular style to hundreds of places in Argentina and the world.

Always with independent and self-managed productions, he edited twelve studio albums, three documentaries and a book.

In 2003, he was summoned, indicated as an innovator within the genre to the Argentina Festival Again, in the city of Barcelona, in Spain, and then toured to the south of that country.

In 2009 he made the script and produced the documentary Entrañas del asfalto, a deep look at the origin of tango and its current contrast with the new forms of the genre.

In 2013, he published his first book Tangos a la deriva, which includes an album as a soloist, poems and texts. In 2014 he presented the book at the International Book Fair and at the Casa Carlos Gardel Museum.

Between 2010 and 2015 he made live presentations at several National Universities in Argentina and abroad such as Greece, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico, (these presentations in Colombia, Greece and Ecuador were declared of Cultural Interest by the Argentine Foreign Ministry, the Argentine National Institute of Music, the Argentine Embassy in Greece and the Argentine Consulate in Guayaquil, Ecuador). Through his artistic work, he generated different debates with the communities of each region. As a result of these meetings, the Documentaries were made: Che, who are you? and University Tours.

He took his particular style to hundreds of places in Argentina, Latin America and the World.

In Argentina, among other stages, he performed at La Trastienda, La Feria Internacional del Libro Buenos Aires, Teatro ND Ateneo, Casa Museo Carlos Gardel, Café Tortoni, Torquato Tasso, Club del Vino, Bar Tuñón, Festival de Tango Independiente Buenos Aires, Café Notorious, Teatro Bauen, Centro Cultural Cooperación.

In the 80s he put together the group Barrio Negro, in the 90s the rock band Señores Monos, in the two thousand the tango duo Bettinotti-Fernández and then his solo career.

He was indicated as one of the exponents of the "hidden tango" current, in the essay that bears that title by the researcher Silvana Boggiano, which deals with a musical current as opposed to the "official tango".⁴

Con el Tango - The Film

CON EL TANGO – A FILM BY JUDITH ALBRECHT AND URQUIZA TANGO PRODUCTIONS.

THE FILM “CON EL TANGO” TELLS THE STORY OF THE COUPLE CHICHE NÚÑEZ AND ESTER DUARTE AND THEIR SALON URQUIZA IN BERLIN

What happens to self-esteem and dance when you leave your homeland? That’s the question that both of them are asking when they’re looking for a personal home.

Chiche and Ester open the Salon Urquiza in Berlin, where they want to build a home and re-create the Urquiza style. At the same time, both prove themselves as dancers on international stages, they teach, organize milongas, become parents, close the salon, lose and find each other again.

The film accompanies the dance and love couple through their life with the tango. After almost 15 years of recordings, fine work and a lot of travel, we are infinitely proud to be able to present this film to you.


WHAT HAPPENED SO FAR – PRIZES, FILM FESTIVALS AND ALL NEWS ABOUT THE COMPLETION OF THE MOVIE “CON EL TANGO”

Our movie was completed in April 2020. A glamorous premiere was planned for May 2020, which could not take place due to the global situation. We didn’t let ourselves get down: we hit the path of international festivals. The hope to be able to offer a premiere soon remains, as soon as circumstances permit.

The start was in Denmark: the film was presented as the main event as part of the Jewish Culture Festival in the centre of Copenhagen.. After the performance, the protagonists Ester Duarte and Chiche Nunez were interviewed and answered questions from the audience before everyone was invited to a family milonga.

So the film’s journey continued: in March 2021 we received our first prize as best documentary film in the South Film and Arts Academy Festival from Chile. In June, it was an honorable mention at the 2021 ARFF Paris // International Awards in the category Best Documentary Film. And finally, in July 2021, we received the great news from the prestigious Indipendent Film Festival Marina del Rey Film Festival® in Los Angeles, California, that our documentary was awarded best documentary film in a foreign language. What a pleasure to be able to share the laurels with you via Instagram and Facebook!

After about 10 years of filming, 3 years of post-production and a year and a half of limited opportunities for the distribution of independent films, we look to the future with great gratitude and confidence, and we are satisfied with the past. In recent times, the only motivation has often been a strong will to keep moving forward. And now we can present a sincere film, an (hopefully!) Artful statement about tango, expressed through and enriched by the 7th art.

Work continues behind the scenes in order to be able to organize a German, even Berlin premiere in a “real” movie theater. We will be happy to keep you up to date. Yo can sign up for our Newsletter and follow us on Urquiza-Facebook and Instagram.

Does tango make you happy or lonely? That is unclear. But it is clear that it is addictive. Singles find people who can hug them. Couples find a new crackle. Tango is a great spectacle when you can master it, the dancers are beautifully groomed...

The film: Five young dancers immerse themselves in the sensual and erotic world of tango night after night, far away from their native Argentina – in the Black Forest. All are single. Everyone is addicted to the passionate and melancholic dance. Everyone wants to meet, to merge in a couple, in beauty and elegance. Everyone longs to meet themselves in the embrace of strangers. The eroticism is staged, but the closeness is real./The eroticism is real, but the closeness is staged. This leads to misunderstandings and conflicts that the couple doesn't show to the outside world on the dance floor. How much is play, how much do the rigid gender roles hold the tango captive?

“Visiting Tango” shows the different needs and perspectives and how they affect the small scene. Ruben is happy about the clear distribution of roles, while Susanna is committed to more equality. Christian enjoys the fleeting contacts with women, but Helena is looking for real encounters. Joscha, on the other hand, doesn't want to know anything about interpersonal relationships. He would like to make tango his profession and earn money with it. Lovingly, with lots of music and fine humour, "Tango zu Visit" tells what is happening in the dance halls far away from Buenos Aires. A round milonga leads from the fresh desire to the wistful pain of parting in time lapse through the whole love drama.

After this unusual tango film, you know why five young people are lonely together in a highly aesthetic and touching way.
