The Japanese singer Anna Saeki discovered her love for Argentinian tango many years ago. Together with the orchestras of Raúl Garello and Nicolás Ledesma as well as with the Alejandro Schwartz Trio she has recorded two CDs with her favourite tango titles. The first CD is dedicated to the tango clásico, the second one to the tango moderno. Songs like "Malena", "La cumparsita" and "Chiquilín de bachín" receive a special charm by the subtle interpretations of Saeki, or like Horacio Ferrer puts it: "La voz de Anna Saeki es como si fuera un perfume!" (Anna Saeki’s voice is like a perfume). There is a Spanish as well as a Japanese version of "El día que me quieras".
Tango clásico y moderno

The label Envidia/ Lujuria has released some interesting new CDs for Salsa fans, and this time not only from Cuba, but also New York / Puerto Rican style:
Varios: N.Y. Salsa Club
Great compilation with Don Perignon, El Gran Combo, Costa Brava, Victor Manuelle, Orquesta La Fuga, Pedro Brull, Oscar d'Leon and many more.
Maikel Blanco: Me olvidé quien era
Maikel Blanco is Cuban and he has produced this fresh, crispy and danceable salsa/ timba CD.
Don Perignon: Aquí sí que hay
Salsa Puertoriqueña just like it should be: excellent arrangements and great musicians like for example Jr. González, Rico Walker und Wicky González.
Michel Maza: Como gato de angora
Well this CD is not really presenting music for cuddly little kitties (like the title suggests). Michel Maza used to play with Charanga Habanera where he learned the most important salsa lessons, which has lead to three solo albums already. Cuba is calling!
And there are more news, for example by Victor Manuelle, Luis Miguel and NG 2.
