My name is Jimena Fama and I'm the composer of Electro tango.

I'm a multi-instrumentalist and I'm the producer as well.

Basically, the albums I do it from zero, from scratch till they are released.

This song is called Vida en Invierno.

Most of my work I use the name Electro Tango.

The whole idea was to mix, to keep it organic, and I think that's the difference, you know, of what we do and the sound that we have.

Have all the tango Elements and the electronic elements, but keep it organic.

And also I wanted to always make it accessible.

Like tango can be very complex and very kind of like intense and the dynamics are everywhere.

My plan was to make it accessible and to be able to play it everywhere.

I tried to catch a little bit of, you know, the essence and sounds of the rest of the world, always with the rhythm and, you know, traditional items from my culture, from Argentina.

It's about finding the right blend, you know, between acoustics and electronics and technology and something that comes from the heart.

I think it's a it's a good balance and a way to translate the message.

This is neo tango.

It's very uptempo.

It's milonga, which is a style of tango.

Nuevo tango.

It's kind of a movement.

It started by combining drums with tango normally don't have drums.

Neil Tango came with like more like a four over four drums and start to use different sounds, more electronic sounds, or maybe keyboards like electronic keyboard.

But the concept and the root and the harmony that should be from tango, not from electronic music.

I started this project in 2004, so that gave me enough time to get to know the industry.

Production is kind of like a language, so I was basically speaking and somebody was translating that for me, and at one point I decided, okay, I need to do this by myself.

I need to be able to translate the whole message from the beginning until the end myself, so I can really express what I want with the music and with the instruments.

For example, in a song you put an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar, and it would take the song completely different places.

So once I have a concept and I wanted to express something and share something, I make sure that, you know, all the pieces make sense until the end.

I try to only compose when I'm starting a project.

Otherwise I have many ideas all the time, you know?

But I try to.

I make it organized.

Inspiration is something that it really doesn't, doesn't stop.

You know, I think tango is something that comes with time, with age.

Growing up, I remember my dad would put tango in the car and I was like, ah, this happens to everybody that I talk to.

It's like, oh, that's so cool.

It's so depressing.

It's like, so.

Nostalgic and.

And then with time you start to appreciate your roots and appreciate the deepness.

And it's not sad, it's dynamic and it's and I also wanted to make it happy.

I'm releasing a new album called Hermosa Vida, which is like Beautiful Life.

It's very up tempo and very happy, and my goal is to make people have a good time, you know, with music, with what I do.

I also play traditional tango songs that you will hear on the concert.

I like both, you know.

It's not like, oh no, it's the old stuff.

It's like, no, I'm one of the people that's like, okay, no, totally.

We have to respect I'm very conservative in that way and many other ways, you know, to really, like, understand the origins of tango, you know, harmonies and everything to keep that pure.

Then you can mix it up, but also don't go super far away because this is culture, right?

We always want to keep the culture.

Keep it growing, you know, keep it evolve.

Thank you, thank you.

Hermosa Vida.

It's officially out in Miami.
