Crazy good music attributed to BsAs.....

[TedA]

Hi, all. I'll be there in about a month and really looking forward to visiting your fair city.

At the moment, I'm grooving to Pandor, which just played something from a CD/collection titled Frequent Flyer: Buenos Aires (http://www.amazon.com/Frequent-Flye...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1299474812&sr=8-1) which appears to be some seriously cool maga-cool hypno-ambient-downbeat music. So, I wonder, where in BsAs there might be a venue that features this music. Anybody?

Thanks.

See you soon (I hope).

Sorry, maybe someone younger could help. Good luck.

I googled it and read the amazon webpage posted above. I understand that Frequent Flyer Buenos Aires is a series of music, a compliation of very good music from here. I also found a lounge with that name.

By they way, there is wonderful good music to listen in Buenos Aires!!!

Sounds as though the Lounge is affiliated with the compilation, in the same way that London's Buddha Bar or Ibiza's Café Del Mar put out their own chill-out albums.

It can't be a coincidence.

I am pretty sure I am older, not younger- but I listen to a lot of this stuff.

The frequent flyer CD is a compilation of a lot of the Electro Tango bands.

The usual suspects are all present.

Some of these are studio only projects, others actual bands.
There is not, as far as I know, any one place to see this kind of music, but it pops up in a wide variety of venues.
All 4 of the artist websites above will list upcoming shows.

Other similar music to look for would include
