Tango Is Alive! | Reviews

Finnish tango is a known quantity, albeit somewhat exotic. Have you heard about Danish tango, though? No? Here's your chance.

Just as I was losing hope that there would be any danceable new tango recordings coming out, Tango Bardo saved the day with their new album - 'con Roberto Minondi'. Have a listen!

I had a listen to the album Siciliano by La Juan D'Arienzo. Here is what you should know.

My favorite American tanguero, Alex Krebs & his band, has release a two-track tango single - Tangos in English...

I had a look at the new album Misión Tango by Cuarteto Soltango and bring it to your attention. Have a listen!

Public service announcement: a new label, Tango Time Travel, has released the complete recordings of Pedro Laurenz in various digital formats. It's a treasure trove of music that used to be for the most part only available as second-rate transfers.

Public service announcement: a new initiative by Argentine tango promoters gives the spotlight to contemporary tango bands that play for dancers. 'Grupos y Orquestas de Tango Milonguero' is a wonderful new project that I'm going to cover with each new release.

I had a look at the 2020 album Tangostoria by Bandonegro and bring it to your attention. Have a listen!

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

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.
