German Tango. Sceptic persons might say: "It cannot work". But Patrick Stern manages very well to transmit the pain and melancholy but also the coquetry and wit of Tango lyrics into German. Patrick Stern has worked on this project for a long time, he travelled from the river Elbe in Hamburg to the Río de la Plata in Buenos Aires. There he found the musicians of the Orquesta Típica el Afronte and the Orquesta Típica Winco as well as the singer Karina Boerlegui. With these allies he produced a charming CD, which will also please an audience not speaking German.

BÄNDI: Satumaa - Finnish Tango
You just have to look at the CD cover in order to know that this is not a typical tango production. No legs wrapped in fishnet stockings or other twisted bodily parts, no embraced dance couples or
obscure streets. Not at all, here we see two jaunty elks dancing.
Satumaa is at the same time melancholic and jolly. It is a mix of tango, and march, country, jazz and a lot more. Kristina Debelius (voice, stage piano, organ), Volker Denkel (western guitar & electric guitar), Thomas Salzmann (drums, percussion), Tobias Frisch (voice, violin, kazoo) and Johannes Kramer (double-bass) catch their audience with this mixture and they don’t let go. Willingly, we listen to the sighs from the bottom of Kristina’s heart and to her somehow husky voice, even if we don’t understand any Finnish. Please listen to this:

The press thinks about BÄNDI
"Music which continues where Russion disco and Balkan beat reach their limits" (Frankfurter Rundschau)
"Wallowed with passion and oddity" (HR Online)
"Extremely danceable" (Journal Frankfurt)

Sometimes one encounters real gems. This CD is one of them. The subtitle of this bachata compilation is "Acoustic Bachata from the Cabaret Era". It is a collection of the early days of bachata, when the genre was still frowned upon, at least by the so-called upper class. Artists like Rafael Encarnación, Blas Duran, Felix Quintana and Leonardo Paniagua prove that bachata can enchant you without pop and plastic:

This is a journey to the roots of Colombian cumbia. The African influence cannot be denied, the voices and partly also the lyrics will send shivers down your spine because of their authenticity and the political background. Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto received a Latin Grammy for best folk album in 2007:

César Pérez is from Venezuela, but has lived in Germany for some time now (where he also plays in the band of the popular TV show TV Total). His first CD Amigo Incondicional was released in 2005, and critics, DJs and dancers and, of course, Danza y Movimiento loved it. At last, there is a new album with the title "Ciudadano del Mundo/ Citizen of the World". His music took César Pérez to many different parts of the world, indeed. So we are quite proud, that Germany is the breeding ground for his first-class Salsa productions. The band leader does not only play the trombone but sings with a fabulous disarming voice. Listen to it, dance, buy it, make a present: you shouldn’t miss out on this CD:

A short while ago, we presented the CD "Para mi Esposa" by Luis Stazo (former bandoneón player of Sexteto Mayor). We then became aware of another Tango ensemble in which Luis Stazo also
participates, the Ensemble Hyperion, we do not want to withhold from our readers.
Since its conception in 1992, the Hyperion Ensemble has developed a wide repertory of tango music and has performed at festivals, theaters, tango parties, and concert halls all over Europe, with more than 500 performances. The Ensemble has collaborated with various bandoneonists as Luis Stazo, Daniel Binelli, Alfredo Marcucci, Josè Luis Betancor, Matías González, Camilo Ferrero, Peter Reil, Hector Raul "Tito" Cartechini, and others. These fruitful collaborations has added a deeper dimension to the Hyperion Ensemble's already intense, artistic character. Hyperion's most notable appearances have been in: VI Cumbre Internacional Del Tango Sevilla 2005, Festival Couleurs Tango Paris Salle Wagram, London Battersea Arts centre, Lausanne Festival Internazionale Tangofolie 1995 and other festivals in France, Sweden, Spain, Italy and Germany.
In the month of may 2004 Hyperion has produced the show "Boulevard Tango", with 4 couples of dancers, which has been performed in the last two years in several italian theaters. In summer 2005 Hyperion began the collaboration with an important dance company; AllthatTango, directed by Sebastian Arce and Mariana Montes. In summer 2005 the Ensemble also took part in the show "Tango Nuevo" with Roberto Herrera, and in the show "Tango Metropolis" with Claudio Hoffmann and the renowned bandoneonist Daniel Binelli.
