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.

The musician with the characteristic, husky voice is back with a new album: "Utopía". His Tango, which is a fusion of various rhythms like Tango, Milonga, Candombe and Murga, is admired by music enthusiasts and dancers alike. The percussion elements add a dynamic and fascinating rhythm to the tracks. The singer, trombonist, pianist, composer and painter Cáceres has lived in Paris for many years and calls his music "Tango Negro".
The CD is now ready for immediate delivery.

This is the new release by Bajofondo, which has been eagerly awaited by all friends of Electrotango. Tango meets Candombe, Milonga, Electro and Hip-Hop, and an exciting composition of rhythms and sounds emerges, which turns out to be harmonious. The list of artists involved in the project is also fascinating: Ryota Komatsu, Elvis Costello, Mala Rodríguez, Nelly Furtado and Lágrima Ríos, together with the Argentinian and Uruguayan musicians of Bajofondo, enchant the audience of "Mar Dulce".

The producers Anja Hansmann and Sebastian Schnabel are on a quest for the "real tango" and they make us participate in their journey through Buenos Aires. This is a multi-facetted documentary about the phenomenon of tango. It shows the passion for tango from a traditional and a modern perspective, from young dance couples and dancers who have visited the milongas for decades already. Some of the music is by Otros Aires and Narcotango, who have had a great influence on the development of Electrotango.
The movie is in Spanish language with English and German subtitles.

The last shipments brought us some very recommendable CDs, amongst them LA 33, Frank Reyes and many more. Sometimes there are also "new entries" of CDs which were not published this year. Classic CDs, like for example the SAR/ Guajiro Records productions disappear from the market from time to time and reappear again. Thus, we add them to our page of recommendation for Salsa new releases, just like the CDs by Edwin Bonilla and George Delgado, which are new in our catalogue.
CD Gozalo by LA 33 in our shop
Salsa from Colombia - full of power and perfect for dancing.
CD Te regalo el mar by Frank Reyes in our shop
Bachata without Frank Reyes is impossible. His new production, again, is a gem for his fans.
CD Tirando Pa' Charanga by Edwin Bonilla and Jesus Perez in our shop
