Swango Practica Monday Dance Music @ the Palomar in This is an alternative Tango-Swango practica
where I do not play any golden age, tandas, or cortinas. Instead I play
contemporary Tango trios, quartets, and orchestras like Estaban Morgado
Cuarteto, Quartango, Hugo Diaz, Sexteto Milonguero, Paco Garrido, Roberto
Alvarez Orchestra, Orchesta Tipica, Juan Carlos Caceres, Joe Powers, etc. I
also play local favorites like Tangonera and Trio Garufa. I mix in nuevo
music like Otros Aires, Fernando Samalea, Bajofondo, Narcotango, Gotan, Seis
Luces, Carla Puliese, CT Tango Ensemble, Melingo, Supervielle, Tango Crash,
etc. I also play some contemporary blues and jazz (Dianna Krall, Buddy Guy,
Van Morrison, etc), salsa (courtesy of Trace), and West Coast Swing (courtesy
of Rupert). I try to play a few tango songs and then something different,
depending on the crowd. We welcome you to come out and try our alternative
fusion flavor! Here is a sample playlist from 08/01/11:
Old Swango Blues Music: I’m going to be trying out a new music
format in 2008. It’s going to go something like this for a typical dance: 10-11pm: Funky Blue Soul Hour (dance to the coolest tunes by Aretha
Franklin, Gnarls Barkley, Temptations, Marc Broussard, Marvin Gaye, Foxy,
Rick James, Buddy Guy, BB King, etc…) Other artists I like to play: Ray Charles, Joe Williams, Dianna Krall, Gotan Project,
Solomon Burke, Gene Harris, Lou Rawls, Oscar Peterson, Barbara Morrison,
Buddy Guy, Ruth Brown, Jimmy Witherspoon, Astor Piazzolla, Mel Torme, BB
King, Louis Armstrong, John Hammond, Nat King Cole, Ernestine Anderson,
Johnny Harmon, LaVerne Baker, Bill Withers, Eva Cassidy, Gladys Knight, John
