I had a look at the 2019 album Tango Animal by San Telmo Lounge.

I return to my old passion for heart-rending 1950s and 1960s tangos because nothing works better for keeping one's mental state within the healthy range during the COVID lockdown, now does it?

I give you ~ 3 hours of contemporary tangos, milongas, and valses, to dance at home or just listen to as you wrap up your work-week.

I give you a tanda with four different orchestras giving hommage to Miguel Caló.

I review the album Alma, corazón y vida by Quinteto Ángel that came out in February 2021. It has songs to please the dancer as well as music for the appreciative listening audience.

I give you an instrumental tanda built around a popular birthday vals, Lágrimas y sonrisas.

I review the album Porteñísimo by Orquesta Típica Sans Souci that came out in November 2020. That release hit me unprepared, since I didn't know the band was still active. Much to my joy, they are back in full force!

I am bringing back the Tanda of the week to help speed up the return of milongas, even as it is just my wishful thinking. But, we can at least tune in mentally. We can imagine things. And who else could guide us through this dream than the legedary dream-weaver Osvaldo Pugliese with his trusted singer, Alberto Morán.

The album Juntos by the Solo Tango Orquesta was released in November 2020, and it only made it to my desk recently. I regret every minute I missed this by.
