On a special edition of The Geography of Sound, host Federico Pacheco welcomes Argentine-American bassist, composer, ethnomusicologist, and tango orchestra leader Laura Camacho.
Live in the KOOP studio, Laura will share stories from her musical journey—from growing up in Buenos Aires to her work bringing tango to audiences in the United States and her latest projects in Austin. The conversation will be accompanied by music from Laura’s recordings, including her original compositions “Todo Tiempo Pasado” and “Ecos,” along with classic tango and some unexpected contemporary songs reimagined through the language of tango.
It’s an hour about tango, tradition, migration, and innovation—from Buenos Aires to Austin. Tune in Thursday, August 20 at 12:00 PM on KOOP 91.7 FM or listen to the live stream at KOOP.org.
