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.

I take a deep dive into the 2018 album of Lilí Gardés, which has recently caught my attention. Watch me struggle trying to integrate neo-tango into my thinking about the future of tango.
I have a look at the album Non Típicas by Tango de Minas, released in 2018 but still very fresh today.
Another day, another round of covers, this time a compilation of styles borrowed from Messrs. Di Sarli, Biagi, D'Arienzo, Troilo, and Pugliese. Released originally in 2017, Pablo Valle Sexteto has made it available on Bandcamp a few days before Christmas 2020. Let's have a listen.
Listen, who is making so convincing an impression of Juan D'Arienzo here? Well, that would be Los Herederos del Compás and they just made a Bandcamp release of their 2018 album, D'Arienzo en el Corazón.
Today's music is a first release by a new formation of Pablo Montanelli (piano) and Alfredo Piro (guitar, voice) - Tangótico.
Oh my! I've lost hope I'd see another tango release until the end of this God-forsaken year, and here comes Romantica Milonguera to cheer me up! Let's have a listen.
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.
