The tango was born at the end of the 19c. across the River Plate, between Argentina and Uruguay.  It slowly grew as the resulting blend of the cultures of Italian, Spanish, French and Eastern European Jewish immigrants combined with Afro-Argentine rhythms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning in the 20th C., the tango became increasingly more popular throughout the world. During the Holocaust, the tango became part of the life of ghettos and concentration camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jews embraced the genre as well, composing compositions in Ladino, Yiddish, Russian, French and Hebrew. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Ram\u00f3n learned Ladino, the language of the Sephardic people, at his grandmother\u2019s knee; his style reflects the rich history and drama of this extraordinary culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trained in five different countries, Ram\u00f3n has studied at the Latin American Rabbinical Seminary, the Manuel de Falla Conservatory of Music and the University of Texas at Austin, where he received a Doctorate degree in Voice Performance. His Doctoral dissertation is entitled: \u201cThe Cantillations and Melodies of the Jews of Tangier, Morocco\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a> Ram\u00f3n Tasat is the hazzan of Tiferet Bet Israel (TBI) in Blue Bell, PA. Until recently he was the hazzan and founder of Shirat HaNefesh (Song of the Soul)<\/em>, Kensington, MD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ram\u00f3n is also the musical Director of Kolot HaLev, <\/em>a Jewish Community choirinthe Greater Washington areaandthe past president of Shalshelet: The Foundation for New Jewish Liturgical Music.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving Jewish congregations since the age of 18, Ram\u00f3n has expanded the horizons of their liturgical practices by introducing the reading of Torah and other sifre kodesh<\/em> chanting with te\u2019ame haMikra of different communities from around the world. He has also composed music extensively, research and arranged Jewish music for mixed choir as well as instrumental ensembles. As a musicologist Hazzan Tasat introduces largely unknown piyyutim from the Jewish global village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ram\u00f3n sings in Hebrew, Ladino, Spanish, Italian and English, and specializes in Sephardic music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
