Tananai Tango

Passion. Music. Emotion. Dance… Tango. Never before has a dance been so closely identified with the concept of the Tango. They say it takes two to Tango and this is very true within the sounds of Otros Aires' The New Sound of Tango - Modem Tango for the 21st Century. The music is a perfect blend of the classic sounds meets the new modern textures. Otros Aires blend modem ambient rhythms mixed with the classic sultry sounds of Argentine Tango. You can play this record at a party, at home alone, while drinking coffee on Sunday morning or when you and your lover are about to Tango!

"Brilliantly capturing the essence of this true legend at this live gig recorded almost twenty years ago at the end of a 30 date european tour, they were fired up and ready for it."

Argentinian tango, just like jazz, is a classic example of a living, constantly developing musical tradition. Already, when it was in its early stages in around 1900, it combined influences from European, African and Latin American music. And today, more than 100 years later, it is as vital as ever, not only in its traditional form and but also incorporating elements from pop, electronica and jazz. There can be no musician in recent times as important in this process of the tango evolving and opening up as the Argentinian bandoneon player and composer Astor Piazzolla. He was a pioneer and direction-setter, and one of his key works was the album "Tango Nuevo" (also known as "Summit"), recorded in 1974 with the American baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan. It was a global success, and it made this form of the tango, known by the same name as the album, popular far beyond the borders of Argentina.

The albums of the Buenos Aires / Paris series are a point of reference within the creative scene of electronic tango in Buenos Aires. Thanks to extensive research, Buenos Aires / Paris Troisième Voyage (the third volume of the saga) returns to present the most popular artists of this genre, with new tracks off of their most recent albums, material that has yet to be released and exclusive remixes. As we all know, electronic tango has developped into one of the new music styles of this century.
