Otros Aires brings together traditional Argentine tango with cutting-edge electronica to produce music that is authentic, modern and terribly catchy. This will be their first appearance in Philadelphia. Check out the "records" section of http://otrosaires.com for mp3s.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 8: OTROS AIRES IN CONCERT

On Wednesday, July 8, Otros Aires will present "“…one of the most unique and compelling audiovisual live shows in contemporary global fusion" (according to smallworldmusic.com in Toronto).
An “archaeological-electronic project,” Otros Aires mines the annals of tango’s history to create a sound that is 90% tango and 10% electronic. Blending samples from some of the earliest tangos with contemporary lyrics and electronic beats, they create a modern day music that maintains the feeling and spirit of traditional tango. Visual images form the backdrop of the band’s concerts, creating a spectacle that is engaging and often humorous.
Otros Aires arrives in the U.S. on the heels of a 13-city European tour. In addition to Philadelphia, they will make stops in Chicago and in New York City for the Lincoln Center Midsummer Night Swing Series.
The event in Philadelphia will be held at the Philadelphia Ethical Society and will be set up as a milonga, so there will be plenty of space for dancing. Seating will be available for non-dancing concert-goers. Come early for a beginner tango lesson (included in the price). Discounted parking ($12) is available across the street from the venue.
