2. The winners of our inquiry regarding our new welcome-page
Dear friends of “Danza y Movimiento”!
From time to time I realize, that although we keep you informed about new
CD-releases from other labels we tend to forget announcing our own
CD-releases. As an addressee of our newsletter, you deserve to be up to
date. Eventually you already found out about some of the following CDs while
taking y tour in our shop. But Tropical-fans will find a brand new
package-offer containing the last three Vamos-CDs for a special price. The
winners of our latest inquiry regarding the new design of our welcome-page
are listed at the end of this newsletter.
1.1 Tango: Mercedes Simone
Mercedes Simone is one of the few women in Tango. She has recorded about 230
Tangos in her life. A quote from the magazine “Blue Rhythm” regarding her
CD: “On “Masters Of Tango Argentino Vol.2” the wonderful Mercedes Simone
sings through 22 pieces, a small cross-section of the singers huge
repertoire. Recorded between 1931 and 1953, digital remastered and carefully
investigated, the highly changeable voice of the ‘Dama del Tango’ at times
reminds one of the melancholic vivacity of Chanteuse Lhasa.” If you want to

1.2 Tango: Around 1950’s
The ninth CD of the series “Best of Tango Argentino” represents a subjective
selection of Tangos, Milongas and Valses of Evita Perons times. Many of
these songs had already been recorded in the early 40s, however, the 1950s
recordings sound more intense and aggressive. You'll find more information
about this in Klaus Johns’ booklet. This booklet will be the last text by
Klaus Johns we publish from this expert at Tango, who accompanied us and our
work for years. Few days after handing over the text and compilation Klaus
Johns passed away unexpectedly in past October. Therefore, the CD is
published in memory of an important personality in the newer history of
Tango, which surely would have a whole different look without Klaus Johns.
The CD will be in stores by the end of March, but you can already get it in
our shop:
Best of Tango Argentino: Around 1950's
1.3 Salsa: New Vamos! - compilation
The no. 15 of the Vamos!-series is pure Salsa. Or to be precise “Salsa
brava”, because in recent years the songs that had a big time breakthrough
in the Salsadiscos are the fast and danceable songs you'll find on this CD.
Check it out! If you dance to Salsa from time to time, you'll surely
recognize some of the songs on this CD:
Vamos! Vol. 15 - Salsa brava
1.4 Merengue: New Vamos! - compilation
The16th CD of the Vamos!-series is Merengue, a fast rhythm out of the
Dominican Republic, danced to in a quite closely. But hey, what am I telling
you – if you get our infos on a regular basis, you'll know, what Merengue is
made of. We also put together the Top-Merengue-songs of the last two years
on this sampler. As an exception, we included an oldie:
As the song “Latinos” wasn't hardly found, but regularly inquired, we
finally decided to have this title newly recorded in Colombia. Enjoy it:
