A Tribute to Octavio Brunetti

Great Argentine tango pianist Octavio Brunetti’s sultry sets at last year’s Midsummer Night Swing were the stuff of legend. It was also the brilliant musician’s unexpected swan song—he passed away shortly after the triumphant evening. To honor him, Brunetti’s friend and colleague, the highly versatile bassist, composer, and arranger Pedro Giraudo, will lead the night’s loving tribute. His newly formed Pedro Giraudo Tango Orchestra will pay fitting homage to the great Brunetti in an evening of sensual dance and celebratory remembrance. As this is a dance event, there is no seating. Dance Instructors: Ana Padrón & Diego Blanco DJ: Maria Jose Sosa http://midsummernightswing.org/events/tribute-to-octavio-brunetti
