Bajofondo @ Bimbo's!

 Bajofondo brought their Argentine-Uruguayan tango fusion flavor to Bimbo's 365 Club last week!
The dance floor was still filling when the Latin-Gammy Award winning band hit the stage just after 9:30 with brand new track  Codigo de barra off of their latest album  Presente





  Javier Casalla's vibrant violin playing dominated the  the first half of the show but did not steal any attention from enthuastic bandmate,  Martín Ferrés as he got up close with fans playing the bandoneón on the edge of the stage.



Riling more excitement through an already engaged crowd after 5 energized instrumental songs,  right when I thought the set might be a purely instrumental one, guitarist Gustavo Santaolalla lended his  vocals to Pena en mi corzan!




Drummer Adrián Sosa got on the mic while violinist Javier Casalla filled in on the drumset and Juan Campodónico sang from behind his turntables at one point. 





Smooth transitions of on-stage exchanging of instruments as different members of the band got behind the mic during different song didn't slow the show down or distract the crowds attention at all.


Wide smiles and theatrical facial expressions were pleantiful from all 8 band members between chorus' as Bajofondo inginited the dance floor with an energy I've never personally experienced at Bimbo's 365 Club.


Currently on tour in support of their 4th album Presente, Bajofondo played a bunch of songs off of that album as well as some tracks off of their some older albums.







Bajofondo told fans that San Francisco is one of their favorite cities in the whole world and after the performance they gave at Bimbo's 365 Club there was no reason not to believe them!
