Tango is one of the world's most popular art forms. With its inherent sensuality and sexual overtones, it is no wonder that the Tango has created intrigue throughout the world. Bandoneonist, arranger and music director Raul Jaurena; bandoneonist Tito Castro; violinists Leonardo Suarez and Humberto Ridolfi; bassist Pablo Aslan and pianist Allison Brewster Franzetti, recreate traditional tangos on this CD, beautifully capturing the essence of tango with elegance and panache. Washington Galli, the vocalist, epitomizes the style of tango singing, adjusting to the constantly pulsating underlying rhythm while manifesting freedom of phrasing and interpretation. Despite the passage of time since these tango pieces were originally composed, the works remain fresh, as the tango remains a most poignant expression of our deepest human emotions.
