Fernando Otero from Argentine

There is a show tonight where Fernando Otero will be playing at Joe's Pub. I actually don't really know about his music, I checked his music at youtube and sounded very acoustic or classic kind of music plus Algentine tango influence. My friend Steven told me about this show so it's got to be good, and I'm always very excited to explore new music & sound. Stay tuned for an update....



Here is an introduction from the Joe's Pub's web site.

SHOW DESCRIPTION
Argentine composer and pianist Fernando Otero found his voice as writer, musician and bandleader when, at the urging of one of his music teachers, he began to incorporate the indigenous sounds of his native Buenos Aires into his work. Twenty years have passed since Otero opened his ears to this wealth of ideas, and ever since he has pursued his vision of X Tango. On his Nonesuch debut "Pagina de Buenos Aires", he does evokes a feeling of Buenos Aires – something you can sense even if you've never been there --through his innovative use of the bandoneon, the accordion-like instrument at the heart of all tango. But the world Otero conjures up is really all his own.

Usually I don't go to this type of music show especially the one where I need to sit down the whole time. But this one turned out to be a great beautiful music show that kept me feel good. It was great modern Jazz influenced by Argentine tango. It is always nice to explore new music...
