The
influential ensemble Tanghetto from Buenos Aires presents their new CD „Hybrid
tango II“ which links to their influential 2004 album “Hybrid tango”. Again, pianist-producer-composer
Max Masri and guitarist-composer Diego S. Velázquez offer a blended mix of melodic
and textural tango music (with bandoneon and piano), electronica (with
synthesizer and samples), pop (with electric guitars and drums), `chamber
music´ (with violins and violoncello) etc. Not surprisingly, this album was
nominated as “Best Tango Album” for the Latin Grammy.
Among
several attractive and danceable songs, there are some outstanding tracks. For
example the instrumental “El Miedo a la Libertad”. It has a slow pace, a fine
melody, a diversified arrangement including strings, and thus generates a wonderful
pleasant atmosphere. Completely different the straight-forward dancefloor suited
track “Quien me quita lo bailado”; from time to time this is all what is needed
to let go all that what distracts in daily life.
Montevideo
tango singer and composer Tabare Leyton impresses with vocal appearance in “No
me ringo”, a vibrant song with a good melodic progression, and a strong chorus
which calls for more. Later on the singer enchants us again with “Aires de
Buenos Aires”. Max Masri is lead singer of Piazzolla´s “Vuelvo al Sur”; one
more version of this evergreen, here with a simple and good groove.
I would recommend
to hear particularly the accentuated songs loud, their flow is much better! When
Tanghetto is the DJ, “life is a dancefloor” – at least this evening
