2020 has not been conductive to making new tango recordings, and so it happens that the Cachivaches appear here again after a while, because they did, in fact, release a new album in early October - Anti Cuerpos.

I have wanted to write about Alex Krebs' tango projects in the past, and never had a good excuse until now. It feel a bit odd to write about releases made 10 or more years ago. Fortunately, the Bandcamp re-release gave me a good excuse, and here you have it.

I feel compelled to come clean and admit that I've re-joined the tango community and have thereby reversed my prior decision not to.

I take a look at the recent album by the Cachivaches, Tiempos Extraños, and find it very enjoyable.

I give a mixed review to the album Reinventango by Tanghetto, which is by all indications a solid collection of neo-tango music, with only some of them having a detectable dancing appeal.

I bring you the orchestra of Enrique Francini with his Majesty, Alberto Podestá.

Prague is opening up, and with it the tango scene. I am staying home. Why? Nothing has changed, not really.

Do you feel like you want to punish the floor real bad, perhaps out of frustration from the prolonged tango desert? If so, I've got some beats for you.

Finally, another review. The album "Reír" by Collectif Roulotte Tango came in the mail, and it is a pure delight.

It's Labor Day in Europe, which means nobody is working. Imagine you've walked into a chill afternoon milonga / tango café, dressed casually and not expecting too much drama. Welcome! I give you a mixed tanda of valses to get you started.
