Tango Extranjero

A trio record made from the outside looking in — bandoneón, strings and the push-and-pull of tango from beyond the Río de la Plata.

Reliquias Porteñas

(a) the record

Featuring Julio Coviello and Pamela Tello

The players

A musician's hands working the buttons and bellows of a bandoneón

A hand on the neck of a guitar above a cracked checkered tile floor

Two dancers held close in an embrace beneath an arch and a wall lantern

A singer and a guitarist seated side by side in a courtyard with checkered tiles

The singer mid-phrase with hands raised while the guitarist plays beside her

On the floor

(c) live

Regular milongas in Buenos Aires with singer Pamela Tello — the room, the floor, and the immediacy of sound made once, in front of dancers.
