Tag: Albums Tango

The musician with the characteristic, husky voice is back with a new album: “Utopía”. His Tango, which is a fusion of various rhythms like Tango, Milonga, Candombe and Murga, is admired by music enthusiasts and dancers alike. The percussion elements add a dynamic and fascinating rhythm to the tracks. The singer, trombonist, pianist, composer and painter Cáceres has lived in Paris for many years and calls his music “Tango Negro”.

The CD is now ready for immediate delivery.

This is the new release by Bajofondo, which has been eagerly awaited by all friends of Electrotango. Tango meets Candombe, Milonga, Electro and Hip-Hop, and an exciting composition of rhythms and sounds emerges, which turns out to be harmonious. The list of artists involved in the project is also fascinating: Ryota Komatsu, Elvis Costello, Mala Rodríguez, Nelly Furtado and Lágrima Ríos, together with the Argentinian and Uruguayan musicians of Bajofondo, enchant the audience of “Mar Dulce”.

The Argentinian Kevin Johansen was born in Alaska and he also has Sacndinavian ancestors. Obviously, this man’s music cannot be classified easily. Thus, also the fourth CD by this extraordinary artist is a wonderfully surprising album regarding the mix of musical elements: Milonga, Country, Pop, Murga, Folklore. Some songs are sung in English, some in Spanish. All the titles were composed by Johansen, and he combines great arrangements and intelligent lyrics.

Karsten Troyke: Dus Gezang Fin Mayn Harts
“Tango oyf Yiddish” is the subtitle of this CD. The Oriente label is a specialist for extraordinary productions, which are far from “mainstream” tango. Karsten Troyke and the Trio Scho (violin, accordion, double bass, 5 titles with additional clarinet) manage to bewitch their listeners. Enchantingly they take us to the 1920s and 1930s and to the area of Yiddish “Schlager” songs in the 1950s.

This new release is a live recording from 2006. It is a wonderful mix of Tango (for example “Cambalache”), Tango Milonga (for example “Taquito Militar”) and Tango Vals (for example “Romance de Barrio”), but there is also room for Tango Nuevo with “Oblivion” and “Libertango” by Astor Piazzolla. This mixture makes the CD very entertaining for dancers and listeners. The ensemble “Tango Fuego” uses the instrumentation bandoneon, violin, piano and contrabass. The singer is Laura d’Onofrio. Let yourself be enchanted.
