Maria Volonte: Blue Tango Project: Born in Buenos Aires. Raised on the Road.

November 20, 2015 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

$15 – $20

Hailing from the colorful and gritty La Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Blue Tango Project is an exploration of the emotional and musical crossroads where tango and the blues embrace. The project is a collaboration between Argentine Latin Grammy nominee María Volonté and California harmonica player and poet Kevin Carrel Footer. This globe-trotting duo celebrates the deep spiritual bond that joins tango and the blues as two musical genres born in desire and marginality, many times censored yet always resurgent and speaking directly to our hungry souls.

Featuring:
Maria Volonte – vocals, guitar
Kevin Carrel Footer – harmonica

“The best-kept secret of Argentinian tango… Well established and widely respected in her native Argentina, Maria Volonte is a singer who can switch between jazz and blues-influenced vocals, intimate Argentinian-style folk singing and classic big tango diva numbers.” — Songlines Magazine
