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.
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.
