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.

Everybody dancing Tango regularly, at least in Europe, will have met the Sexteto Andorinha. They are a popular live orchestra and they have already performed "from Moskau to Madrid, from Uppsala to Zürich". In all these places, the musicians have shown their devotion to Tango. The latest production "De Puro Curda" presents 16 titles, written for example by Astor Piazzolla, Francisco Canaro and Aníbal Troilo. Yet, there are also three compositions by Peter Reil (Bandoneón) seamlessly fitting in. A beautiful album (also visually), which will not only please the dancers:

This CD is perfect for dancing! Joe Arroyo, Alex Wilson, Yuri Buenaventura, Los Van Van, Salsa Celtica, Orquesta La Palabra, Diego Galé and many more make sure that there nobody will be bored. Many Salsa compilations concentrate on only one type of Salsa: Salsa Cubana, Salsa Colombiana, Puerto Rican Salsa. The result sometimes is a bit disappointing, because, speed, dynamics, instrumentation etc. are very similar and provoke symptoms of fatigue for the audience and the dancers. In contrast, the sampler "Salsa Style - Latin beats for dancing feat" was made by experts: You can enjoy it without any problems from start to finish.
