Who doesn’t like Latin music? You’d have to be a real killjoy not to be energized by its infectious rhythms.
The Detroit-based Oblivion Project named themselves after the 1982 album Oblivion by the great Argentine composer/musician Astor Piazzolla, who updated traditional tango into the jazzier neuvo tango.
Marshalling guitars, bass, keyboards, percussion, strings and of course the bandoneon — the type of concertina that Piazzolla played and which gives tango its distinctive sound — the Oblivion Project have carried their own take on nuevo tango around the Midwest.
They have two performances in Cleveland this week.
They’ll be at Nighttown Friday night. Tickets are $20.
Then on Saturday, they’ll perform with Cleveland’s Contemporary Youth Orchestra at the Waetjen Auditorium on the Cleveland State campus. Tickets are $15.
