The New Tango

I did not know what to expect -- this kind of stuff is far from my musical comfort zone -- and it started not that well, the beginning of the album did not really grab my attention. But then everything is falling in place, they find their rhythm and the music becomes addictive and unstoppable. I don't have many references in the genre, but it reminded me of Bacalov's Misa Tango (that should appear in the list if it is not the case). We apparently needed this new tango.

This is album features an unusual combination of instruments - a piano, a violin, a vibraphone and a bandoneón (a sort of accordion) - playing avant garde tango music that crosses over into jazz and classical minimalism with repeating patterns and themes. There’s a playful air to this as the violin and bandoneón bounce off each other, picking up on the rhythms established on the vibraphone. Perfect for a sunny day with a cool breeze blowing through the windows.
