Nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards in 2025, Solidaridad Tango is North America’s original all-woman, diversity-affirming tango ensemble. It was founded in 2021 by Aparna Halpé, to create fair work, professional development, and performance opportunities for women tango musicians. Trained in historical tango performance practice focusing on Golden Age styles, Solidaridad is proud to present new music by women tango composers from around the world. Playing sold out performances in Toronto, Oregon, and New York, and hot off their debut tour in Buenos Aires, playing sold out shows in iconic tango venues such as Café Vinilo and Hasta Trilce, Solidaridad has been described as “bringing tango forward” by Laura Fernandez, host of Jazz FM 91’s Café Latino.
