Sensuous, languid, smokily feline – there’s nothing quite like the music of Astor Piazzolla. Born into the world of tango, he melded traditional Argentinian music with jazz, Bach, Stravinsky and a madly diverse range of other influences. The resulting ‘tango nuevo’ was wildly controversial but wildly popular.
Aotango is an exciting quintet specialising in Tango and World Music. Based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotango’s members include APO Concertmaster Andrew Beer, APO Section Principal Bass Gordon Hill, NZTrio pianist Somi Kim, jazz guitarist Sam Swindells and world champion accordionist Grayson Masefield. Joining them is special guest and APO Section Principal Flute Melanie Lançon for this celebration of Piazzolla’s music.
