Argentine-born composer-pianist Fernando Otero performed at Joe's Pub in New York City last Wednesday, celebrating the recent release of his Nonesuch debut, Página de Buenos Aires, which New York Times music critic Nate Chinen says "could be described as a heroically ambitious tango record, with a scope that reaches beyond the usual connotations of the style."

For his Joe's Pub set, Otero was joined by violinist Nick Danielson, one of the artists to perform on the record as well. And "as they prove on the new album," writes Chinen, "these musicians have an interplay with its own brand of heat and propulsion." In the live show, Chinen found the music "at its most personal and vital" on pieces like "Piringundin," which is also on the new record.
