Buenos Aires songwriter and guitarist Federico Aubele will be the opening act for Diana Krall’s special July 4th concert at Tanglewood. Building on the culture of his native Argentina, Aubele infuses the Latin rhythms with influences from throughout the Americas to create his own unique sound. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Aubele started playing music at 12. His 2003 debut album Gran Hotel Buenos Aires, was hailed as a stunning debut by the Chicago Times. His 2007 follow up Panamericana was called the “ultimate Latin lounge record of the year” in the NY Post’s Best of 2007 round up. His newest album, Amatoria, was released on May 19, 2009. Tanglewood’s Fourth of July concert will feature singer and pianist Diana Krall, who is well known for her sophisticated and swinging interpretations of jazz and American Songbook standards.
