New York City, USA - Argentine singer Sandra Luna will be touring the United states and Canada in February. Luna has been nominated for a Grammy for the Best Traditional World Music Album and is launching a tour that will bridge her visit to the Grammy ceremony and her showcase at the Folk Alliance/Strictly Mundial conference in Montreal. “Cinders that burn again and again… tango is like life, and has to evolve,” says singer Sandra Luna, paraphrasing famous tango lyricist Horacio Ferrer.

On her first international release Tango Varon, Luna turns her ear to the future while keeping one foot firmly in the tango’s colorful past. On her Grammy-nominated album she expands tango music, normally associated with dancing, to a broader more expansive song form. Tango Varón features reenergized versions of tango classics from legends like Homero Manzi and Astor Piazzolla, to newly created tango compositions that tell the tale of contemporary life in Buenos Aires.
