The new CD from Sexteto Milonguero: “7”
And: “Dios mio!” what a staggering album – no: artwork!
More than one hour of vitality, “joie de vivre”, goosebumps, (sounds somehow as if I’d write about salsa ) and danceable melancholy!

Not all news is new. Although I wrote about this fantastic group about a month ago in the German blog and then wrote a few lines in the newsletter after that, I haven’t really got around to writing a few words in English until now.
The group, Jasstango, brought out the same-named album back in 2008. We just brought in on board at the beginning of this year. I listened to the album intensively for a good couple of weeks back then and was extremely enthusiastic. Then I took a break. I’m listening to the CD again as I write now and I can say that my ‘love at first hearing’ from more than a month ago was no superficial flirt: the music remains good.

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.

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.

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.
