Otros Aires is an Argentine XXI century Tango music project, founded in 2003 in Barcelona by Argentine musician/architect Miguel Di Genova. Otros Aires mixes the first tangos and milongas structures from the beginning of the last century (Gardel, Razzano, D'Arienzo, etc.) with electronic sequences, melodies and lyrics of the 21st century. On December 11, 2004, known as "Tango day", Otros Aires presented its first CD at the Carlos Gardel's House Museum, commemorating the birthday of the singer.
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.
Wadada Leo Smith has been a leading proponent of the creation of a new world music since the late '60s, in confluence with Chicago's AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians). Much like Don Cherry, Smith draws from a broad palate of world musics, and he's a musical pioneer of the highest order.
