Tango - The original alt, indie classical music?
Perhaps tango is the original alt-classical music. Perhaps, in fact, tango ensembles were the original bar bands.
Here in Austin, the tango bug bit about a decade ago, right along with a general resurgence in the sultry, complicated dance that was rolling across the country. But unlike most other places where tango percolated, Austin had its own tango house band right from the get-go.
This Saturday, Glover Gill and the women of Tosca String Quartet are returning to their monthly gig at Esquina Tango and you can read more about here.
Have a listen here.
