The Last Applause

Through a number of years, a group of aging tango musicians have performed at a little bar called El Chino in Buenos Aires. After the death of its owner the music fell silent and the bar was closed. In El Último Aplauso the musicians provide us with a backward glance into their lives, both on and off-stage. In an emotional finale the veterans are reunited for a last concert assisted by a group of young musicians. This is tango at its best: dramatic but still genuine and down to earth, and with a range of emotion from the melancholy to the comical. ka
