"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."

Astor Piazzolla’s tangos, beloved around the world for their pathos, passion, longing and sensibility, are here given fresh interpretations in arrangements for piano by the Argentinean-born, Brussels-based pianist Aquiles Delle-Vigne. A disciple of Claudio Arrau and winner of the Grand Prix ‘Alberto Williams’, the most prestigious competition in South America, he has been hailed by Le Figaro as a ‘fantastic, incomparable pianist and artist’, while The New York Times characterized his playing as ‘aristocratic, sophisticated and charming’. Piazzolla’s earthy yet highly developed music gains a new dimension of intimacy but also of power in the hands of this master of the keyboard.

'Los Machucambos' were one of the groups most famous of Latin American music of the '60s and '70s, composed of Costa Rican singer Julia Cortes, the Spanish Rafael Gayoso and Italian Romano Zanotti. The group was created in Paris in 1959 and had its golden age until 1972, being especially known in Europe, where they released a large number of albums winning two gold and four platinum records.

Album by the great canary vocal group 'Los Sabandeños', marking the fifty those published, currently with over seventy albums released. The title of 'Gardel' has to do with a way of paying homage to the tango and the best performer, both threads by Gardel himself and other great Argentine musicians as Canaro, Discépolo, Troilo, Cobian, Piazzolla or Demare. But the album also includes outside that context some other works (including bolero format) of authors as Alberto Cortez, 'Distancia', singing along with them, Rafael Amor, 'No me llames extranjero', -also sings with them- and even an anonymous Cuban song from XIX century, 'El colibrí', which accompanies them Soledad Bravo as in 'Esta noche serena' serena'. A note also the collaboration of Argentinian bandoneon player Rodolfo Mederos in 'Yira, yira'. This production by The Sabandeños won two gold albums and one platinum for sales success. Singular musical contribution that meets the ever splendid vocal quality of 'Los Sabandeños' with tango music.
