Step into ‘The Other Shore’, where memory, passion, and poetic expression converge in a dreamlike dialogue of music, dance, and words— tango as the living voice of Buenos Aires.
In 1965, 32 year old Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla collaborated with the esteemed 65 year old Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges on a project that was almost iconoclastic in nature. Together they would explore the anatomy of the Argentine tango and its rather violent and certainly impassioned origins in the barrios of Buenos Aires. The result of this was El Tango, a recording project that combined Astor Piazzolla’s nuevo tango — tango infused with jazz and classical elements — and Borges’ poetry.La Otra Otrilla draws from Astor’s uncompromising interpretation of tango and text from Borges’ poems El Tango, Alguien Le Dice Al Tango, Límites, and Arte Poética.
