The internationally acclaimed Divine Hand Ensembleproudly announces the release of it's electrifying new single, "Libertango" - a daring andemotionally charged reinterpretation of Astor Piazzolla's legendary tango. Now available on allmajor streaming platforms, the track showcases the ensemble's signature blend of classicalsophistication and cutting-edge innovation, centered around the ethereal sound of the theremin,the world's first electronic instrument played without touch.Under the direction of theremin virtuoso Mano Divina, the Divine Hand Ensemble has forgeda unique musical identity, weaving together operatic arias, classical masterpieces, and modernfavorites with cinematic flair. With "Libertango," the ensemble dives deep into the sensualintensity of the tango, merging lush string arrangements with the haunting, voice-like timbre ofthe theremin - resulting in a soundscape that is both timeless and avant-garde."Piazzolla revolutionized tango by blending it with jazz and classical music," says ManoDivina. "With Libertango, we wanted to honor his spirit of innovation - using the theremin notas a novelty, but as a voice that sings, weeps, and dances.""Libertango" serves as the lead single from the upcoming album 7 Tangos, a compelling tributeto Piazzolla's genius. The album is structured with three classic tangos on Side A, and threenuevo tangos on Side B, separated by a striking duet reinterpretation. Each piece remains faithfulto Piazzolla's original compositions while being transformed through Divine Hand Ensemble'sdistinctive instrumentation - substituting, for example, one violin with five, or a single pianowith dual harps. The result is a sound that honors the past while boldly reimagining it.The album includes seven of Piazzolla's authentic works - from universally celebrated favoriteslike "Libertango" and "Adiós Nonino," to lesser-known gems such as "Chiquilín de Bachín"and the haunting "12 Monkeys.""My musicians poured their hearts into this recording," says Mano. "As a lifelong Piazzolladevotee, I believe we've created something truly special - versions that are, in some cases, asbeautiful or perhaps even more moving than any I've heard."
