IL CD - “Escenas Argentinas” 09/2004
In 2005 for the first time Javier Girotto’s and Aires Tango’s new project of music and video appears. From the encounter between the Argentinian leader and the photographer Giancarlo Ceraudo the idea was born to accompany the marvellous images with music and his photographical reportage. Here are unaltered the melodies written by Girotto and perfectaly played by the four members of the group. The rhythmes,the timbre of their music takes us in an ideal trip to Argentina, through improvisation that renders this group particularly special in the way they embrace so many different contexts, blending them in a caleidoscopic whirlwind of emotions.
