Argentine tango has a rich history, from the streets of Buenos Aires to the concert halls of the world. During Dutch Tangoweek, one of the genre’s most innovative boosters is coming to the Netherlands: Otros Aires. With their unique blend of classical tango and modern sounds, they know step by step how to conquer a new generation of dancers and listeners.
Otros Aires was founded in Barcelona in 2003 by Argentine musician, architect and video artist Miguel Di Genova. From the beginning, the goal was clear: renew tango without losing its soul. While traditional tango ensembles stick to classical form and instrumentation, Otros Aires seeks to bridge the gap between the past and the present – a “tango of the 21st century.” From their first album, released on December **11, 2004 – on the day known in Argentina as Tango Day and marking Carlos Gardel’s birthday – the group has left an unmistakable mark on the music world.
During Dutch Tango Week, don’t miss Otros Aires, as the orchestra effortlessly combines classical tango with modern electronic influences, creating a unique and enchanting experience. Their music invites dancing and listening at the same time, with a live performance that brings together emotion, rhythm and visual experience. With international recognition, creative arrangements and a fresh perspective on the tango genre, they connect purists and new audiences alike, showing how tango can evolve without losing its soul.
