October 8, 2017 7:30PM Crossroads Concerts: Blue Tango Project:María Volonté & Kevin Footer

The María Volonté: Blue Tango Project presents powerful music with intensity and verve. This globe-trotting duo celebrates the deep spiritual bond that joins tango and the blues, as two musical genres born in desire and marginality, many times censored yet always resurgent and speaking directly to our hungry souls. Their original songs reflect their embrace of the road as a way of life and their commitment to global music making as a spiritual experience.

María Volonté is an Argentine singer and songwriter who is a Carlos Gardel Prize winner (Argentina’s Grammy), a Latin Grammy nominee and member of the Tango Hall of Fame. A powerful creative force whose “entrancing creative expression” (International Review of Music) has fascinated critics and audiences around the world.

Kevin Carrel Footer is an artist deeply inspired by the intense passions of tango and Buenos Aires. In words, images and music, he explores those twin passions in unexpected ways. Playing harmonica, he tours the world with the Blue Tango Project alongside Argentine Latin Grammy-nominee María Volonté.
