The internationally acclaimed Divine Hand Ensemble

proudly announces the release of it's electrifying new single, "Libertango" - a daring and

emotionally charged reinterpretation of Astor Piazzolla's legendary tango. Now available on all

major streaming platforms, the track showcases the ensemble's signature blend of classical

sophistication 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 forged

a unique musical identity, weaving together operatic arias, classical masterpieces, and modern

favorites with cinematic flair. With "Libertango," the ensemble dives deep into the sensual

intensity of the tango, merging lush string arrangements with the haunting, voice-like timbre of

the theremin - resulting in a soundscape that is both timeless and avant-garde.

"Piazzolla revolutionized tango by blending it with jazz and classical music," says Mano

Divina. "With Libertango, we wanted to honor his spirit of innovation - using the theremin not

as 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 tribute

to Piazzolla's genius. The album is structured with three classic tangos on Side A, and three

nuevo tangos on Side B, separated by a striking duet reinterpretation. Each piece remains faithful

to Piazzolla's original compositions while being transformed through Divine Hand Ensemble's

distinctive instrumentation - substituting, for example, one violin with five, or a single piano

with 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 favorites

like "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 Piazzolla

devotee, I believe we've created something truly special - versions that are, in some cases, as

beautiful or perhaps even more moving than any I've heard."
