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".
