TANGOLECTRÓN is the latest production by the musician, composer and sound puzzler Nils Imhorst. Traditional tango and electronic music merge on this album, which oscillates between melancholy and nonchalance. The 14 tracks, the majority his own compositions, are arranged affectionately. At the same time, he does without the widespread minimalism.

This CD is the soundtrack for the documentary titled “A los cuatro vientos”, which portrays the life of this great Argentinian musician. Playing the harmonica virtuously, he moves his audience by his passionate and unique interpretations. The booklet contains a short biography and an interview with Hugo Díaz (in Spanish).

The popular tango orchestra El Arranque has released a new CD which is dedicated to contemporary compositions, some of them by the band’s musicians themselves. Thus, the album is aptly termed “Nuevos”. Some of the composers are Sonia Possetti, Andrés Linetzky, Abel Rogantini, Ramiro Gallo and Juan Quinteroson.

The Japanese singer Anna Saeki discovered her love for Argentinian tango many years ago. Together with the orchestras of Raúl Garello and Nicolás Ledesma as well as with the Alejandro Schwartz Trio she has recorded two CDs with her favourite tango titles. The first CD is dedicated to the tango clásico, the second one to the tango moderno. Songs like “Malena”, “La cumparsita” and “Chiquilín de bachín” receive a special charm by the subtle interpretations of Saeki, or like Horacio Ferrer puts it: “La voz de Anna Saeki es como si fuera un perfume!” (Anna Saeki’s voice is like a perfume). There is a Spanish as well as a Japanese version of “El día que me quieras”.
