Tango Crash Drum Cover "Otra Senata"

I Wanted to work on something unique that brought in my interest in tango and fusion. I chose a Tango Crash song called “Otra Senata”

Tango Crash is a neotango band that combines electronica with Tango roots. Neotango is a modern subgenre of tango that originally gained popularity in Europe and South America and has since grown into a global dance-inspired movement. I discovered the band while attending a milonga (Argentine tango social dance) in New York City.

I like the unique instrumentation which includes bandoneon along with the electronica. Bandoneon which looks like an accordion, is what drives the tango.

I also like how the groove avoids the downbeat on the “1.” Mostly everything you hear (that’s popular) in the states has a drum part with a heavy downbeat on the “1.” So it’s nice to get away from that in this song.

I used a lot of cymbals in the cover. I wanted to create a drum part that added a little bit more to the acoustic sounds in the song.

And here’s the version with just the drums.
