Puertas abiertas (Open Door) is a tango story created from an imaginary meeting between the Dubrovnik photographer Pavo Urban and the Argentine composer Adrián Placenti.
Dubrovnik photographer Pavo Urban died on December 6, 1991 during one of the most violent attacks on Dubrovnik, at the Croatian War of Independence.
Urban is most remembered for its war photographs, but during his short artistic career he has distinguished himself by a series of photographs of different styles, genres and themes.
Buenos Aires-based composer Adrián Placenti was particularly fascinated with Urban's series of door motifs. These are small-size black and white photographs in which the interior or exterior doors appear and stand out as a leitmotif; the door of the room, the hall, the door of the City.
It is a more personal oeuvre, which is related to Urban's intimate spaces and the then girlfriend, also the photographer, Mara Bratos, to whom he wrote letters from the battlefield.
We can say that Placenti, in Urban's earlier, more intimate photographs, feels that upcoming tragedy of lost souls that also embodies the aesthetics of tango music.
Duo Alma y desnudo
The two musicians met each other on the advice of a common friend of theirs in Buenos Aires, where they played together several times. The inspiring common ground found in musicianship then led to joint tours. After BsAs they performed together in Europe on the Tango Harmony band's tour in July 2018, and again in BsAs tour in November 2018.
In 2019, they created a concert program from the compositions of Adrián Placenti, and a milonga concert of AP transcriptions of dancing tandas to visit European tango communities interested in their music from January 20 to February 11, 2020.
