The Indie Rock Band - Argentine - Debut CD "In Other Fictions" to be Released 8/23/04 Through Pehr Records Distribution

Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) August 7, 2004

Argentine means silver. Or it is a silver fish (also: Argentina Silas or Silver Smelt). You could also note Pericles, Prince of Tyre: “Celestial Dian, goddess argentine, I will obey thee!” But that still just means silver. None of the three members have been to Argentina. Most would like to.

Formed from the early starts of Ian Carpenter (vocals, guitars) & Nat Guy’s (guitar & bass) collaborations – this Brooklyn band has grown to 5 members – Timothy Quigley(Drummer/Percussionist), Marcus Smith (Bass, Keyboards, Guitar) and Chris Curtis (almighty viola) – incorporating all their distilled influences together and adding their own aesthetic verve – from Yo La Tengo to Mojave3 to Death Cab for Cutie and Low comparisons – all mixed up to make what is now the Argentine sound – Argentine – the band. Their debut CD “In Other Fictions” was recorded in 2003 and is now being distributed internationally thru Pehr Records Distribution come late summer 2004. With “In Other Fictions” getting its international distro release Argentine plans to support the CD through more shows in and out of New York City and also garner more great press (see PRESS section) and radioplay. Currently the band resides in Brooklyn, NY and is working on new songs – while also supporting “In Other Fictions” – for a 2nd album to be recorded sometime in the future.

The album was recorded initially in a secluded Chinatown basement. When electrical gremlins arrived the operation moved to a tucked-away Long Island City loft with barking dogs and noisy plumbing. The 8 song album was put together surprisingly quickly despite the setbacks. Charles Burst of The Occasion recorded and mixed the album and Argentine couldn’t be happier with the results. Gene Paul, the seasoned vet with an ear of silver, mastered.

Argentine is Ian Carpenter, Nat Guy, Marcus Smith, Chris Curtis and Timothy Quigley.

Ian Carpenter: Ian sings and plays guitar in Argentine. He has the clean, clear, languid lines from his Tele unless its time for distortion. One of founders of Argentine he contributes alot to the band’s sound and aesthetic.

Nat Guy: Nat plays guitar and bass in Argentine. Nat also makes things for Argentine like the album design and Argentine’s website.

Timothy Quigley: Mr. Quigley plays drums and percussion and also found the good sense to contribute glockenspiel, Wurlitzer and guitar to the album.

Marcus Smith – A newer and great contributing member. Bass, Guitar, Keyboards, Backing Vocals

Chris Curtis – The presence of Chris cannot be understated on his instrument. Really really beautiful. – Viola

"El Tango de Maria" (Maria"s Tango), every month at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe.The Argentine singer, Maria Cangiano, and her Tango Quartet (David Hodges, bandoneon, Emilio Teubal, piano, and Sergio Reyes, violin) perform their monthly tango show at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. The coming up shows are at 8pm on September 19, October 17, November 21 and December 19 at Nuyorican Poets Cafe, East 3rd street, between B-C avenues.

(PRWEB) September 1, 2004

Misperceptions of Tango being simply an erotic dance have overshadowed Tango lyric tradition in the United States. Tango songs, as a poetic genre, are a specific expression of Latin American Melodrama. In contrast to other Latin American musical genres-for example Salsa or Bolero- Tango is a sad, nostalgic, and pessimistic music. In “El Tango de Maria” Maria Cangiano has created a new type of Tango show, a journey through the history, the themes and characters of Tango songs since the turn of the XIX century until today. She performs traditional and unusual Tango repertoire, guiding the public through the history of this musical genre with anecdotes and historical information. The depth and power of Maria Cangiano’s woeful, soulful voice brings the nostalgic nature of the music to life. The public is invited to dance around the tables. The Nuyorican Poets Cafe offers a perfect atmosphere for this show, because of its ressemblance to Argentine old cafes and bars, where tango was performed in its origins.

Initially trained as an opera singer, Maria Cangiano, a dramatic mezzo-soprano, has perfomed in several New York Operatic venues, such as Regina Opera Theater, Dicapo Opera Theater and the well-known Amato Opera. Around two years ago, she created El Cuarteto de Maria, Tango Quartet, with David Hodges, bandoneon, Emilio Teubal, piano and Sergio Reyes, violin. El Cuarteto has been performing in several New York venues, bringing the Tango song repertoire to a wide diversed social and ethnical audience. El Cuarteto is a multinational Tango Quartet with its own original Tango arrangements, rooted in Tango, Classical and Jazz traditions.

Bandoneonist David Hodges (USA) has studied with Héctor del Curto and Tito Castro. Before relocating to New York, he created and performed with several tango ensembles in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest. He performs with numerous groups in New York, including Los Chantas Tango trio, Los Changos Septet, and Héctor del Curto’s Eternal Tango Orchestra.

Pianist Emilio Teubal (Argentina) studied music at the National conservatory of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and at the City Collegue of New York. During the last five years he has been living in New York city where he has developed an intense career both as a jazz and tango pianist working with groups, such as Los Chantas Tango trio and his own Jazz Qintet. He has also collaborated with artists like Bob Mover, John Benitez, Eric Harper, and Tango masters Tito Castro and Pancho Navarro among many others.

Violinist Sergio R. Reyes (Guatemala). He has studied violin and composition at the Manhattan School of Music and at the Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music. Currently he works as a performer and music consultant for Horizon Concerts, a non-profit foundation which sponsors free classical music concerts for hospitals, homeless shelters and schools in the metropolitan area. He has shared the stage with world famous mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade and renowned bandoneonists Hector del Curto and Tito Castro.

Coming up shows are at 8pm on September 19, October 17, November 21 and December 19, at Nuyorican Poets Cafe, 236 East 3rd street (between

B-C Avenues). Tickets are $ 15 at door and $ 10 in advance (contact matahari0@yahoo.com for reservations). Dancers are particularly welcome.

Argentine Tango Social Networking Website Offers Free Tango Instructional Videos and Networking with Tango Dancers Worldwide

Concord, CA (Vocus) July 30, 2009

Phil Seyer, founder of Argentine-tango.com announced today he is offering a free social networking website for those interested in Argentine tango. The site offers tango videos, Argentine tango music, photos, forums, blogs and online chat. A limited quanity of rare instructional tango videos featuring Argentine tango master instructors are also available for purchase.

Some of the tango masters (to name just a few) include: Jaun Bruno and Alcibiades, Esther and Mingo Pugliese, Gustavo Naviera and Olga Besio, Pocho Pizarro and Stella Barba, Lampazo and Pocha, Maria and Roldolfo Cieri, Puppy Castello and Graciela Gonzalez, Petaca, Tete and Siliva, Procho Pizarro and Stella Barba, Pulpo and Luiza.

Rare Instructional videos created and edited by Daniel Trenner are also available for purchase while they last. Daniel Trenner traveled to Argentina many years ago and video taped and preserved the dance steps of scores of tango masters. Daniel Trenner is credited with bringing tango to North America. Before Mr. Trenner’s work, North Americans knew just two kinds of tango: American tango and the so called “International Tango” (which appears to have originated in England.)

Many free online videos, including tango documentaries as well as a short humorous tango drama are available. For example, the film entitled Tanghi Argentini with English subtitles tells the story of an office worker who meets a lady on the Internet and falls in love with her. He makes a date for a milonga (tango dance party), but he doesn’t know how to tango. He begs a coworker to teach him, but is turned down. He continues to importune his coworker and impresses him by running down a flight of stairs to beat him to the ground floor. Enjoy! This film was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short.

Another interested video shows how 3 well-known and very young Japanese band girls (Miyu, Mizuho, Takayo and Maiko from the band ZONE) learn tango in an attempt to be more mature, sophisticated women. Although the video is in Japanese, Mr. Seyer and his Japanese wife Kumiko provide a commentary in English to help viewers understand what is happening.

“My Argentine tango website is not just about selling tango videos,” said Seyer. “People from all over the world are joining because they love Argentine tango and want to connect with others and share their passion for Argentine tango and perhaps learn something new. We have members from countries like Sweden, Portgual, the Phillpines, Korea, Australia, Canada, United States, Lebanon, Greece, and Egypt. New people are joining every day. It seems like Argentine tango is really more international than the so called ‘International tango’.”

Besides free online tango videos, Seyer’s tango website contains blogs with still photo out takes from some of the videos along with written narrative to help explain what is happening in the video. This is a unique feature not found in most other websites that just contain multiple videos without stills or written narrative.

“Members are free to rate videos and ask question or make comments on them. They can also promote their own Argentine tango events, photos, and videos, and link directly to their own websites,” said Seyer.

To learn more or join this Argentine tango website, users may visit Mr. Seyer’s main tango website Argentine tango.com A link to Mr. Seyer’s social networking tango website with free online tango videos is available there.
