The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Symphony Orchestra recently released its fall 2020 virtual performance of Por Una Cabeza.
The piece means "by the head," and refers to a horse that narrowly wins a race by just the length of its head. The piece was written by Carlos Gardel, a prominent singer-songwriter in the world of tango.
The performers worked with Lance Sabado, a UH dance lecturer, who taught them about the style of the tango and how to dance the tango through Zoom.
The video was produced by Duane Padilla, a professional violinist and educator from Hawaiʻi.
