Kansas City ensemble Cucharada has galvanized a collection of artists looking to bring live tango music to the Midwest. They pursue the canon that is synonymous with Argentina and intend on being true to the aesthetic while carving out their own interpretations. Some of it is time-tested material while other selections are culled from more recent "Nuevo-Tango" acts. With a steady base of people interested in, listening to, and moving along with the dance forms, Cucharada continues to seek out its own space within the enduring legacy of tango.
