Tango Is Alive! | Reviews

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.

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!

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.
