Tango No. 9here live no fish
Review: “In 1998, Clubfoot Orchestra veteran Catharine Clune dreamt of a new project—exploration into the work of Astor Piazzolla. Nine years and three albums later, Tango No. 9 has evolved into a critically acclaimed ensemble performing at milongas, festivals, concert halls, and clubs across the Western U.S..” Tango No. 9 is quite eclectic and with loose instrumentation and sometimes wild sounds they are interesting and unlike any other tango music to which I have listened. All this while maintaining traditional tango sensualities.

Choro Ensemble
Nosso Tempo
Review: Choro is a Brazilian genre whose polyrhythmic musical style originated in Rio De Janeiro in the 19th century. The poor/former slaves pieced together songs from polkas, waltzes, and mazurkas with their own musical styles, before bossa nova and samba were popular. The “lilting melodic sounds” of choro music are said to be collections of music to make people cry. “Not because of sadness, but because of happiness.” The Choro Ensemble, (based in N.Y.) performs both traditional and original music with flutes, clarinet, guitar, cavaquinho, and light percussion.
