Just a few days ago I’ve written about an exciting cooperation of Leopoldo Federico with Roberto Grela in this place…
and I already got my hands on the next one, this time with Susana Rinaldi, one of THE Grandes Dames of tango.

A bandoneón and a voice, both matured through experience, who meet and have a lot to tell each other. And who are incredibly good in listening to each other, as it is the case between good friends.

Finally in our store!

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 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.
