Carlos Quilici (bandoneón), Victor Parma (piano), Carlos Gantus (electric guitar), Guillermo Trobbiani (double bass), Simón Lagier (violin), Javier Gómez (violin) and Ricardo Paradiso (voice) participate in this recording. Carlos Quilici and his Quinteto Los Tauras play compositions by Astor Piazzolla, Pedro Laurenz and Osvaldo Pugliese as well as their own compositions. Only 3 of the 14 titles are with vocals. Following "Rasgo" (2000) and "Bailamos" (2003) "Gauchita Sueca" is the third recording by the Argentinian musicians and again they manage to play danceable tango tunes in a small line-up.

Feelin' meets MPB
Cuba's Grande Dame, Omara Portuondo, meets the great singer of the Música Popular Brasileira (MBP), Maria Bethania. When touring Brazil in 2006, Omara Portuondo had a meeting with the sister of Caetano Velosos and they decided to record an album together. This project was put into practice in 2007.

Daniel Almada and Martin Iannaccone are "Tango Crash". And they truly break with typical tango conventios. Jazz and electronic sounds leave their marks. Still, after their debut album called "Tango Crash" (2003) and "Otra Sanata" (2005) this album is more danceable. In any case, it is a listening experience for friends of experimental tango:
Tango Crash: Baila Querida

What a relief for every football fan: Finally, on June, 7th the European football championship in Austria and Switzerland will start. The different flags will reappear, and even the collegue you wouldn't expect to be so passionate will get het up by the referees' decisions. This will also be the time to prepare the barbecue and to fill up the freezer. Then, you just need some friends and the party is about to start. But hold on... how can you pass the time before the game starts? And what is there to do during the break? Of course: You play the right CD, in this case “Vamos! Football”. Samba from Brazil, chants from Colombian football stadiums... this CD with Latin music will put everybody in good humour and it is a perfect small present for the party host!

The tango electronics from Buenos Aires are back with a new CD containing 12 titles. Their previous productions “Emigrante” and “Hybrid Tango” (both were nominated for the Latin Grammy) made them one of the most popular Electrotango bands. The new album "El Miedo a la Libertad" presents titles like "Media Persona", a fusion between tango and bossa nova, and cover versions of "Englishman in New York" (Sting), where tango, jazz and reggae melt, "Sweet Dreams (are made of this)" (Eurhythmics) and "Cantaloupe Island" (written by Herbie Hancock and recorded for the first time in 1964).
This is the tracklisting with audiosamples:
Tanghetto: El Miedo A La Libertad

Melingo is one of the most charismatic Tango singers. You will never forget him once you have heard him. His voice testifies many sleepless nights, his songs transmit a rather grim view of the world. Raucous, ferocious, uncompromising. Charme and grace? Rather not. Instead, passion for life with all its rough edges, the life of the lonely and desperate. By the way, Melingo’s new CD will be released on April, 4th. For advance orders, please send us an email. You can get a first impression here:
Melingo: Maldito Tango in our shop
