Tanghetto: Emigrante (electrotango)

Emigrante (electrotango)- Tanghetto (Review 1)

Emigrante (electrotango) is a masterpiece that mixes the best elements of tango and electronic music. The influence of such artists like the best moderntango icon, Astor Piazzolla and great electronic bands like Saint Germain and Chemical Brothers has created a unique blend of music: the electrotango.
The production of the record is incredible, it is cool and refreshing.From the first song, "Immigrant" until the last one "Exile of the Soul", there is aspecial climate created by the bandoneon that conquers the soul of the ocasional listener.The word of mouth helps great records to become popular, this isthe case with Tanghetto's cd that became a smash instantly, because of the quality of its music. And that is the thing that every music lover is trying to find desperately.

This is one of the best electronic tango CDs I've listened to. The
distict melody, variation of use of instruments blend perfectly with
the bold beat and rhythm, it's definitely something one can both dance
to and lounge with.
I have listened to some other electrotango CDs, and a lot of them
tend to be repetitive, background-ish, and boring. This one is
definitely what electrotango music should be.
The other CD I really like is titled "La Revancha del Tango" by group called Gotan Project
I really like the record, Emigrante is an excellent album,I like the
atmospheres and melodies,it's quite unique. It's true that the
electronic loops are just the background to this great tango music, and
that's what's inteded to be . This ain't no psycho rave album, this is
MUSIC.I recently read that this album was nominated for the latin
grammys in the best instrumental category, as Bajo Fondo was nominated
last year. Guess electrotango is here to stay!
I think it is one of the top records of the year, as good as the best
electronic gruops from Europe. I have changed my mind about this type
of music after hearing this record, i love it now.

I was surprised by the excitement of this neotango cd called
"Emigrante". The concept of the cd is based on the suffering of the
inmigrants and emigrants from all over the world, their ups and downs,
and their struggle to survive. The music is amazing creating a new and
special sound mixing elements of tango with ambient music. This cd and
Gotan Project's are the best neotango cd's i ve heard so far.

Tanghetto's "Emigrante (Electrotango)" is tango for the new millennium.
This is Neo-Tango, and has been well received from Buenos Aires to
Nijmegen to New York. This is the tango for the "under 30 crowd." It is
not your father's tango. Some people do not even think it is tango.
These are the purists who call it "tango loco." The music is a fusion
of modern tango with techno and jazz to a traditional tango beat.
"Traditional tango beat" may be misleading because most tango (other
than candombe) does not use percussion instruments. It is an
interesting sound. Did I mention that this disk was nominated for a
Latin Grammy ?
So much for that. If you are an Argentine tango dancer, you should
be now familiar with the Neo-Tango genre, and if you are not familiar
with Neo-Tango, perhaps you should learn something. There are many
milongas (Argentine social dances) where this music is played. You will
also hear the music of Gotan Project, some of the Gotan Project
remixes, as well as the Bajofondo Tango Club.

The point is that people dance to this music. When the
music is played, get out on the floor and dance to it.
My favorite selections on the disk are "Inmigrante" and
"Alexanderplatz Tango." You can feel the inspiration of Piazzola
combined with the bandoneon and electronic keyboard. Although the above
were my favorite pieces, I find the whole disk quite danceable. It has
some possibilities for "cross over" into the mainstream from salon
tango to club dancing, so this disk should be taken seriously. Yes, I
could venture to say that if this disk was played at my local Veterans
of Foreign Wars club, there would be people on the floor dancing to the
music just from an appreciation of the music and the beat.

Combining traditional tango's urban sensuality with today's
aesthetic of electronica, Tanghetto, released their excellent debut album
"Emigrante". With a hypnotic mood and captivating
nostalgia this album is a must have for anyone interested in the new tango
fusion that's becoming a new sensation in Argentina and Europe. It's an amazing
instrumental album, with the bandoneon painting this modern sonic landscape
that's great for both listeners and dancers.

"Emigrante"relates the story of today’s Argentinean youths
that were forced to flee out of their country in one of history’s worst
economic crisis. It shows the different faces of history in a musical journey,
how a land of immigrants became a land of emigrants and how those factors
influenced their culture and music.

I became in love with his record almost instantly and I can
assure you it's the best electrotango album out there.
