1. New tango-discovery: Urbango from Belgium

Only a few days after after the release in Brussels, we can offer the new CD by Urbango: “Aires De Dos Orillas”. And this CD is really worth it. It is an excellent mixture of own compositions and arrangements, in parts very rhythmical and almost percussive, wonderful to dance and to listen to.

The Urbango group was founded in 2005 by Eduardo Baró, an Argentinian musician and composer living since many years in Brussels. He selected various musicians who, each, have a large affinity and experience with Argentinian music.
Urbango has a varying geometry based on bandoneon, piano, percussion and guitar/voice/sax. Its repertoire travels through the Argentinian and Uruguay music from the traditional tango till the tango nuevo by Astor Piazzolla crossing the rythms typical of the folk music (chacarera, candombe).

Both productions are now available from Danza y Movimiento:

2. Bachata news

Bachata is at least as popular as merengue from the Dominican Republic. Die following CDS are highly recommendable for friends of this music:

Luis Miguel del Amargue: De Rodillas Te Pido
One of the most popular bachata artists. By the way: his name "del Amargue" derives from the original name of the genre "amargue", meaning "bitter" and describing the bitter-sweet athmosphere of the music.
