Los Tangueros del Oeste: Intersection of Tango, Flamenco & Hip-Hop

Steeped in the nuevo tango styles of Astor Piazzolla, Gotan Project, and Bajo Fondo, bassist/composer Sascha Jacobsen’s newest project combines beats and textures from electronica, with influences from flamenco filtered through an improvisational lens.
 
FEATURING:
Sascha Jacobsen – bass
Carlos Caminos – guitar
Seth Asarnow – bandoneon
Ishtar Hernandez – violin
 
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Hailing from an illustrious musical family dating back at least five generations to a bassist for the Moscow Opera in the early 19th century, Sascha Jacobsen is a bassist who loves expanding on traditional forms. He’s explored his passion for tango in ensembles like the Musical Art Quintet and Trio Garufa, and his latest project, Los Tangueros del Oeste, might be his most adventurous yet. The group features Seth Asarnow on the accordion-like bandoneon, Daniel Riera on analog synthesizer and EWI (electronic wind instrument), and violinist Ishtar Hernandez. Focusing on Jacobsen’s original compositions, the band’s singular nuevo tango sound is cool and impassioned, sensuous, seductive, and utterly dance-inducing.
