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.
