The Argentinian singer Pablo Banchero lost his heart to tango in the late 1980s. Back then, he wanted to sing tangos, meanwhile most other teenagers preferred jazz and rock. Today, many years later, he recorded his first CD at the age of 42. The newspaper “La Nacion” calls him a new “icon of tango” (the complete, very interesting, article can be read under “reviews”).

The founder of the legendary Sexteto Mayor and the master of tango, Luis Stazo, is back. He recorded the CD “Tango con Pasión” with his new Sexteto Stazo Mayor. And this is only the beginning: He is already booked for the new Broadway show “Tango Pasión – El último tango”. Premiere of the show will be 19/12/08 in the renowned Champs Elysée Theater in Paris. This is the CD with 18 titles, some of them written by Luis Stazo himself.

This is a relief for the Latin scene: Oscar d’León, who – by the way inaugurated our “Danza y Movimiento” shop in Hamburg personally in 1996 and who therefore is very dear to us – has finally released a new album. And quite different to some of his previous recordings, this is a pure salsa album. Fun on the dancefloor guaranteed! A great singer and a charismatic artist is back.

Only a few days after after the release in Brussels, we can offer the new CD by Urbango: “Aires De Dos Orillas”. And this CD is really worth it. It is an excellent mixture of own compositions and arrangements, in parts very rhythmical and almost percussive, wonderful to dance and to listen to.
