Tango Electronic

Passion. Music. Emotion. Dance… Tango. Never before has a dance been so closely identified with the concept of the Tango. They say it takes two to Tango and this is very true within the sounds of Otros Aires' The New Sound of Tango - Modem Tango for the 21st Century. The music is a perfect blend of the classic sounds meets the new modern textures. Otros Aires blend modem ambient rhythms mixed with the classic sultry sounds of Argentine Tango. You can play this record at a party, at home alone, while drinking coffee on Sunday morning or when you and your lover are about to Tango!

Otros Aires is a XXI's Century audiovisual Tango project created, produced and directed by the Argentinean musician & architect Miguel Di Genova. It was made between Barcelona and Buenos Aires ports in 2003. This project counts with many collaborators like: Diego Ramos (Piano & arragements), Lalo zanelli (Piano), Martin Bruhn (Drums), Martin Paladino (Drums), Manu Mayol (Drums & production) Pablo Potenzoni (Drums), Christian Maturano (Drums), Carlos Ocorso (Percussion), Hugo Satorre (Bandoneon), Lisandre Donoso (bandoneon), Emmanuel Trifilio (bandoneon), Joe Power (Harmonica). It has 12 years of career, 4 studio albums, 1 live album, a documentary DVD and more than 30 tours around Europe, North America and South America.

Electronic tango is causing an authentic revolution in the global music scene. Popular throughout the world, these discs are a must buy for the thousands of tourists who travel through Buenos Aires and other corners of the country where local aficionados are rediscovering their beloved music with a whole new sound. For those who have not yet visited Argentina, it is the latest in exotic electronic music and its status as ''hard to find'' makes it all the more desirable. The electronic tango rage has moved a number of artists to undertake new productions of true artistic value. In the midst of all this hype, Buenos Aires/Paris is the most important album of the genre, the defining double disc anthology with material from top musicians who have provided their best known tracks…

Often referred to as 'Electronic-Milonga' or 'neo-tango' and founded in 2003 in Barcelona by Argentine musician Miguel Di Genova, with Emmanuel Mayol, Omar Massa and Diego Ramos making up the band. They reference the classic tango artists from the 1920's and 30's, such as Gardel, Razzano and D'Arienzo for their inspiration and source. But it's what they do to it that brings it kicking and screaming into the 21st century - in exuberant fashion - that makes it such great new music. You will certainly hear samples of Carlos Gardél's 1930s vocals, with Astor Piazzolla's accordian thrown in to the mix. This second album and their debut were smash hits in Argentina and although they could be difficult to find, they're well worth the effort.

"Big man dancing" is the subtitle given to the fourth studio album by Otros Aires. And indeed, he is dancing again, Otros Aires, the "Big Man" of the new Tango who cannot by overseen and ignored any more. 10 restless years with concert tours throughout the whole world, several recording session are behind the four Argentinians. They converted themselves in the epitome of a new elegant and contemporary tango that calls the dance-floor its home but is deeply rooted in the traditions of Buenos Aires. Consequentially "Otros Aires 4" was created on the road between backstage, sound-check, stages and holiday at home. Lots of the songs are dedicated to the passionate tango dancers Otros Aires plays for at concerts and Milongas from Moscow to Mexico…

Come in Red Dog, This Is Tango Leader was the first recorded meeting of eight-string wunderkind Charlie Hunter and master drummer/composer Bobby Previte, but it went so well that they decided to make an ongoing project of it called Groundtruther where the two of them play with a rotating third member (similar to Samm Bennett and Tom Cora's Third Person). However, this is just the two of them and although the album was "recorded live as all get out, baby," it's sometimes difficult to believe. Charlie Hunter is pretty well known for sounding like more than one person on his eight-string guitar, but Bobby Previte's electronic hybrid drum set allows him to do much the same thing with triggered samples.

Presente, the 2013 album by the eight piece Latin Grammy-winning band Bajofondo is an epic, high- energy tour de force that blends tango, milonga, folklore, rock, hip-hop, electronica, jazz, classical and a world of sounds from the Rio de la Plata. The album takes listeners on a brand new trip that melds the high-octane energy of Bajofondo's acclaimed live shows and their ingenious experimentation in the studio. At this point in Bajofondo's career, they have long transcended "electro tango" to become one of the world's most eclectic acts on record and one of the most irresistible on the dance floor, all wrapped with the energy and attitude of rock 'n' roll. "After playing in virtually all corners of the world, this album most closely resembles what we are as a live band," says Gustavo Santaolalla, Bajofondo's founder/producer.
