Anemona (2020)
Native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Fernando Otero (b.1972) is a Grammy award-winning pianist, vocalist and composer now living in Queens, NY. Otero draws on the musical tradition of his Argentina homeland, blending it with classical and jazz forms to create a vibrant and original sound, which he describes as X Tango. We asked him to write this piece for us for a program to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Kaufman Astoria film studios in Queens.
