To me, it is always fascinating how composers from various cultural environments enrich this music. In this context, I would like to point out Michael Ashjian, an artist living in the Libanon with Armanian-Libanese roots. Musically speaking, Ashjian has a classical background. After his parents became aware of his musical talent, he started to play the piano at the age of 8, and from then on, this remained his instrument.

His debut album „Tangomania“ contains twelve compositions by him, and it was recorded in Buenos Aires in 2011 with a top-class cast: Eva Wolff (bandoneon), Pablo Agri (violin), Jorge Perez Tedesco (violoncello), Esteban Fallabella (guitar) and Daniel Falasco (double bass). You can buy the phsyical CD in our shop or download it.

After a rather long break, the masters of electronic tango have an impressive return. They take us on a fascinating journey with a kaleidoscope of various styles, which unite in perfect harmony thanks to the magnificent musicians supporting Gustavo Santaolalla. Tango, milonga, folk, rock, jazz, classical and electronic music – they all take part, and as soon as one track takes you along on the musical journey, the next one will surely give you the next beautiful surprise. Don’t miss out on this experience.

The beats of Quinta Feira and Abacaxí create a highly explosive mixture, which makes you dance immediately. On stage, the two samba bands located in Hamburg/ Germany show a great percussion party.



The joy of the 17 drummers – men and women in their 20s and 30s, some of them joined the band when they were still children – is infectious!

The drummer Robin Fuhrmann (The Lion King) increases the band’s energy with his powerful groove.

Now, our download platform offers 38 new albums with classic tangos, amongst them already nine albums with recordings by Edgardo Donato. There are also ten albums by Juan d’Arienzo, seven by Francisco Canaro, five by Miguel Calo, two by Rodolfo Biagi and four by Osvaldo Pugliese.
