I give you ~ 3 hours of contemporary tangos, milongas, and valses, to dance to at home or just listen to as you wrap up your work-week. The the last one was by far my most popular content in March, and I strive to please, so here you go.
I kept the tandas to 3s even though I usually play foursomes. Bear in mind that this is a playlist for home use. If you happen to dance to it, I think the 3-piece tandas will give you a better sense of variety, since you won't waste the first song looking for a partner - he or she is right there with you! 😂
You need to be on Spotify to enjoy my mixes. Unfortunately, there's no other way that would not severely limit my choice of bands and orchestras. Even there, some of my beloved bands are missing, e.g. Roulotte Tango.
Commentary
This time, I was even more fearful that I'd run out of fresh music. I don't want to repeat myself in this series. My goal is to do this as long as I can without much repetition so that I can see for myself whether the library of modern tangos is plentiful enough to replace the classic repertoire.
Neither one of those things would be a concern to me in live milongas. I reuse songs with abandon and when I have a favorite, people hear it often. And I do play tango standards for dancing, and it usually takes up about 50% of my sets.
I ended up with a playlist that only contains 5 tracks that were already present in an earlier progressive mix. Not too bad. I am almost ready to throw in the towel with valses and milongas though. There just aren't all that many good ones around in any period, let alone the modern one.
