1. Tango: New CD by Quadro Nuevo

Sometimes we come accross new productions that are totally different to the usual stuff. "Tango bitter sweet" is one of these rare productions. In the beautiful booklet, the musicians try to explain themselves how they would characterise their music:
"We are always searching for magnetic melodies. Without limits in time and space. Tango, oriental music, French Valse Musette, Flamenco, Balkan swing, songs from Italy and rhythms from South America... maybe we could say that we play world music with a European point of view." The result is a charming CD we would like to recommend to our customers. Here are sound samples:
