CD Reviews

My review is for ballroom dancers

"If you're just learning tango and wish to practice on your own, this is a wise investment. You won't have to disrupt your practice running back and forth to your cd player to select tracks. You won't drive yourself nuts listening to the same song stuck on loop play. Basically, this is a good cd of classical, non-elevator tango music that does not beat you over the head with a nausiating DUM DUM DUM DUM beat. (Well, most of the songs do not.)



There are a few lousy tracks within this collection, but it has been my experience that with all cds there will always be tracks you tend to skip over.



Do not let the $14.99 price tag for a two disk set turn you off. This is good music."
Lots of Variety

"It's not the Best Tango Album in the World Ever! But it's pretty darn good. This is NOT an album where all the songs sound the same; there is a remarkable variety in the song selection. You'll hear everything from vocals, like Gardel's Volver, to Fuga Y Misterio performed by The 12 Cellists of the BPO, a strange but enchantingly beautiful selection. I highly recommend this album, but there are two reasons you might not want to buy it. First, if you already own "Buenos Aires by Night" (EMI Odeon) you'll find that eleven of the songs appear on both albums, so look for an album without so much overlap. Second, if you are looking for tango dance music, you'll find that the tempo on many of the songs is not even enough to use for International Ballroom Tango or American Social Tango. A talented tanguero could pull off Argentine tango to several of the selections, however. For dancing the tango, I would recommend

Bailemos Tango!: A Century of Tango on the Dance Floor (Rhino) by various artists or La Melodia De Nuestro Adios (El Bandoneon) by Francisco Canaro, both of which are traditional tango music. For more contemporary, club style tangos, try Lecons de Tango (Milan Music/WEA Corporation) by various artists. It contains a lot of upbeat, even tempoed "electronic mixes" so you'll either love it or hate it.

"Needed a CD of tango music to practice ballroom dancing and this one is perfect."
