Astillero
Live at the Barbican
10 April 2011 / 19:30
Buenos Aires’ hottest new tango band brings incredible energy and excitement to this passionate traditional music. This all-acoustic group revel in raw, adrenalin-soaked emotion, adding a daring, youthful edginess to create their own vision of tango. The sounds of Astillero are the sounds of Buenos Aires today. The way they play their music reflects the incongruities and madness of this urban jungle; it kicks, breaks, hurts and jumps. The fresh lyrics add to the rawness – a rough but tender voice, that cares and tears at the same time. The concept goes even beyond music, developed further by video images, both poetic and political, projected live to complement the deluge of sound.
Following two sold out London Jazz Festival shows, Astillero are back in London for a one off performance.
“More musically daring and athletic than any other Tango Orchestra around. These boys can chew the scenery, masticating in wild abandon. Your Mama’s tango, this most certainly is not.” Time OutAstillero
