It’s not hard to figure out where you are once you enter the old abandoned Harrod’s building on Florida Street. The word “TANGO”, in simple all-caps helvetica, is plastered everywhere to announce the 2009 Tengo Festival. It’s two weeks of tango music, tango dancing, tango clothes. Tango worship.
I went the other night to check out a couple electro-tango bands, Otros Aires and Narcotango. I missed most of the former, but I caught up with my friend Jessica and we scored 2nd row seats for Narcotango. The show was good, with interesting video footage projected behind the band. The music was pretty chill, hence the “narc” name. Where’s my vicodin? Electro-tango is a Gotan Project kind of sound, which is as “electronica” as one can get while still incorporating an accordian into the mix.
