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.

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.

Dear Tango friends!

Klaus Johns passed away.

If an elder person dies or someone has to die because of illness, we know that before and can try to sort of getting “prepared”. But it is a greater shock, if you were just sitting or talking together with a vital and healthy person and this person is dead the next moment or next day. I was completeley shocked yesterday morning when I have received the news and I know most of you are shocked, too.
