A pleasure to listen to and to dance to

"This was the first album of Argentine Tango I purchased after I started learning the dance. But apart from its sentimental value, this is an album I truly enjoy.
Unlike a lot of recordings of more modern tango orchestras this CD contains a good number of tunes that are actually danceable and have a strong rhythm. Thankfully the music lacks the "pseudo"-drama and "pseudo"-sensuality that a lot of modern orchestras embrace and quite a few people like, but which I just find dry and tiresome.
Among my favorite pieces on this CD are "Bahía Blanca" (Original Artist: Carlos Di Sarli) and a beautiful arrangement of the vals "Romance de Barrio", made popular by Aníbal Troilo's orchestra."
