There´s a dark side to tango and nobody brings it out more than Daniel Melingo. His world-weary voice he brings to mind Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Serge Gainsbourg. Melingo has discovered the bleeding heart of tango in the streets of Buenos Aires en he infuses it with a dose of theatrical rock-’n-roll, assisted by his red hot band Los Ramones del Tango. ‘One of the great originals and eccentrics of the Argentinean music scene’ (The Guardian).
Afterwards: Salon with DJ Jan Dirk on the Bimhuis stage (free admission).
