Eclectic and entertaining, Nov 18 2008
By B. Prater "Dance Fanatic" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tango Around the World (Audio CD)
The eleven tracks show a wide diversity of what "Tango" was and has become since it's resurgance about twenty years ago.Track 5 Pena was either copied from a vinyl record or has the hiss of a record added to the intro to add "age" to the recording. The hiss does not continue through the song, nor does it detract from the music.
Track 6 Felino layers electronic sounds into the acoustic mix for a more contemporary "nuevo" take on the tango.
Track 7 Gia Ligo layers electronic rhythms over what sounds like an AM recording of a female singer. It gives it a retro and current sound all at once. In fact, this track sounds more like light jazz to me than Tango but I like it anyway.
Track 9 Estrela Da Tarde also has a Tango Nuevo feel, with the use of electronic and accoustic instruments.
A couple of the tracks are Milonga rhythm rather than Tango which adds to my enjoyment of the collection. All in all it's a mix of old and new that sits well with me and I like that they ended it with a Carlos Gardel composition faithfully rendered as an instrumental - Mi Buenos Aires Querido (My Beloved Buenos Aires) Dancing shoes here I come!

A Fascinating Take On Tango, April 17 2009
By R. A. Gallardo "Braz Cubas" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tango Around the World (Audio CD)
A terrific and entertaining look at tango around the world. On the whole, probably not as eclectic in sound as some of the other "Around The World" compilations from Putumayo, as most of the acts here perform fairly classicist takes on tango, with electronic flourishes being the main departure. Still, that's only a minor quibble.The album opens with the excellent Dimba by Ousmane Toure (Of Toure Kunda fame), and keeps getting better from there. With the exception of Fortuna, the rest of the acts are either from Europe or Argentina. This, of course, is not surprising, considering Europe, particularly Scandinavia, is a bit of tango stronghold. Still, you'd thing Putumayo would have made an effort to include an act from tango's other home: Uruguay.
On a side note, Federico Aubele is part of the recent electronic movement in Argentina -- the hissing in his track is deliberate, not a result of ripping.
A highly entertaining listen, recommended!

I love tango, Jan 6 2008

This review is from: Tango Around the World (Audio CD)
This is a very good cd. I put it on when I clean the house since I have no-one to dance with. Works fine.
