The songs on this album could be described as fiery, sensual, gripping, as well as graceful and elegant. The album features tangos, waltzes and milongas, both instrumental and sung, from the pens of the old masters as well as new contemporary composers. The tango is an almost universal music and dance style. It is an authentic and lively expression of everyday experiences and feelings. The famous tango composer Enrique Santos Discepolo described the authentic, graceful and expressive tango as “a sad thought, which can be danced;” another author described it as “two serious faces and four funny legs.” The tango was born on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, in poor neighborhoods where the families of European immigrants settled down in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Since the 1980s, a renewed interest in the national Argentine musical tradition has triggered a revival of the genre.
