The internationally reknowned Electric Gauchos will be performing in Seattle at the Town Hall this Saturday night! Electric Gauchos is a border-crossing collaboration between musicians from Seattle and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The lineup includes guitarists Steve Ball, Fernando Kabusacki, Travis Metcalf, and Derek Di Filipo, all veterans of the League of Crafty Guitarists. They are joined by the wonderful drummer and percussionist Fernando Samalea.
Both Fernando Kabusacki and Fernando Samalea are well known in their home country of Argentina, having performed and recorded with Charly Garcia and Maria Gabriela Epumer, among others.
Joining the Gauchos will be a variety of performers from the Seattle Guitar Circle, including two distinct guitar ensembles - one a sextet and one a septet. The music will range from textural, improvised soundscapes, to heavy rock, to tango.
The last Electric Gauchos show in Seattle, seven years ago, was sold out! You might not get the chance to see them again for a while, so don't miss out. You can hear recordings from that show, and from Argentina, on their CD
Blue Orb. That CD contains some pieces also recorded by the related group,
Los Gauchos Alemanes, available from DGM Records.
The
Town Hall is a beautiful, 900-seat, auditorium near downtown Seattle.

I won't be playing bass, but I'll be playing guitar as part of a few of the performances. Derek will be the bassist for the evening, and he'll have his Fender Marcus Miller sig in tow.
I think this is going to be an excellent show, and though I know it's not cheap, we plan on filling the evening with vibrant, eclectic music that makes it well worth your while.
Hope to see lots of TBers there!
