Electrocutango Live @ Atc

FROM NORWAY, Olav Sørensen’s ELECTROCUTANGO Electrocutango is considered on of the most dynamic, innovative and original expressions of the new electro-tango movement. The sound is identified as tango with an update rather than electronica with exotic seasoning. The music has a distinct identity based on tanguero musicianship and with an original approach to fusions with anything from Puerto Rico, Brazil, RnB, DnB, jazz or contemporary music. Behind Electrocutango is the norwegian pianist and composer/arranger Sverre Indris Joner. Unlike traditional tango the improvisation is a central element in Electrocutango´s music. And different from most electronic tangos Electrocutango is basicly tanguero fusioned with all the rest – not the other way around… And not surprisingly – the tango-dancers takes the challenge! The album Felino is already considered a classic within the electronic tango genre.
