Description
Flowing with energy and style, The Rough Guide to Tango Revival features new tango from the clubs and dance floors of Argentina and beyond, where the next generation of musicians distil tango's enduring magic and popularity. Written in 1917, the opening track 'La Cumparsita', signified the birth of tango. Here Selección Nacional De Tango, who, along with the Orquesta Típica Fernandez Fierro, can be seen as the sound of the new, gutsy, quasi-nationalist Argentina, give it a thorough reworking.
This album also features clean, virtuoso strings-led tango from Hungary's Quartett Escualo, edgy, electronic tango from German-based Argentinean experimentalists Tango Crash and Dutch bandonéon-ist/bandleader Carel Kraayenhof's version of Astor Piazzolla's famous composition 'Libertango'. Taken together, these bands are reviving Argentina's one indigenous cultural expression: el tango.
