About the Artists By Alex
Russell
"Otros Aires, an Argentine band
that blends traditional tango music with electronics, rock and even
hints of hip-hop, premieres in the Washington DC area as part of its
first tour in the United States.
The
three-member band, led by Miguel Di Genova, a 43-year-old architect
turned guitarist, plays original songs inspired by early tango
recordings, samplings of which give Otros Aires its
signature style. The upbeat rhythms infused with electronics have
energized audiences in Buenos Aires and such European cities as
Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and Barcelona.
Di
Genova credits living in Spain for his rediscovery of his musical
roots in tango. Pianist Diego Ramos and Omar Massa, who plays the
bandoneón, an accordion-like instruments that lends tango its
distinctive sound, also returned to tango after classical music
training. Says Massa, “When you’re born in Buenos Aires, you don’t
come to tango, tango comes with you.” Otros Aires—Spanish for “Other
Winds”— breathes fresh, danceable sounds into traditional tango
music". |
