Remember Token Tango by @davidwise.bsky.social? It's a great track, but I was wondering what it would sound like if it was actually an Argentinian tango...

unbelievably excited for the full album to come out! this was so fun to do; i'll have more to say when that happens!
The dweller kongs rely on all sorts of species for their musical shenanigans. One of such "animal friends" is @roninopf.bsky.social, know for his superb violin performances. This multifaceted bird also displays a liking for styles such as breakbeat and hip hop in his solo work.
