As a child growing up in a Jewish neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Débora Simcovich heard tango everywhere. At weddings and bar mitzvahs the klezmer bands played tango. From nightclubs windows, street party bandstands, and the radio, especially as the June anniversary of tango legend Carlos Gardel’s death in a 1935 plane crash approached, the quintessential sound of Argentina was omnipresent. But adding her voice as a songwriter to the male-dominated tango repertoire seemed like a bridge too far, until a tune she wrote caught the ear of an RCA Victor producer in Buenos Aires, which led to her recording her song “Fin de Año con los Argentinos” (New Year’s with the Argentines) in 1970. Even after Simcovich moved to the Bay Area a few years later to study film at San Francisco State she maintained her passion for writing tangos, crafting a steady flow of songs from a female perspective.

A high point of Nahat’s tenure at Ballet San Jose was the company’s eight-city performing tour of China in 2008, dubbed the “Goodwill Tour From Silicon Valley.” In every stop along the way, Nahat was struck by the talents, breadth and artistry of Chinese performers.
