Alberto Castillo, made famous by his collaboration with Ricardo Tanturi, had an enormously long career. His vocal expressions were unique and entertaining without getting in the way of a good ronda.
I offer a few comments on the ongoing debate between the tango and neo-tango camps.
Marisol Martinez's crew has published a new EP and it's just as lovely as the first one released just a few weeks ago.
This mix progresses from a very romantic starting point towards a place that is somehow more solid, if you will; it's not a weepy tanda. It is lyrical but also quite masculine.
Romantica Milonguera has a new album out: Algo contigo. Swift, melodic, naturally danceable. You'll like it!
Tanturi's instrumentals from 1940s are one of my staples. I love the beats and the energy. So will your dancers!
La Auténtica Milonguera is a fairly new ensemble from BsAs and they've released their first album a few days ago. Included there are five songs, five sweet songs that tease you and leave you wanting more.
I began this glorious year 2020 with an ode to milongas. Continuing in the same spirit, I give you lovely milonga duets from late 1950s in the form of a mixed tanda.
I outline what milongas I like to dance and play, what are the essential components of a good milonga, and how I mix milongas in tandas.
