“A nova onda do tango. O dramático género argentino namora com a eletrónica e quer se modernizar” Revista Veja Brasil

Tanghetto es, indudablemente, un grupo que además de contarse entre los pioneros en fusionar la música de Buenos Aires con sonidos electrónicos contemporáneos, llevó mucho mas allá el concepto de electrotango.

Después de 8 años de carrera con 3 álbumes de estudio y un DVD, bandas de sonido, premios y nominaciones varios, discos de oro y platino y de haber mostrado su música en mas de 20 países del mundo, Tanghetto sigue sorprendiendo desde el estudio y desde el escenario. Ya sea desde sus siempre sorprendentes trabajos en estudio como desde su potente show audiovisual.

El “sonido Tanghetto” es único; la fusión de sonidos contemporáneos de diversas fuentes de inspiración que convergen en Buenos Aires, en el bandoneón y en la herencia del tango.

El bandoneón aquel nostálgico instrumento emblemático del estilo, toma el rol del cantante y es acompañado por otros instrumentos acústicos y por una amplia gama sónica de sintetizadores y samplers.

La música del grupo se caracteriza por una singular combinación de sencillez y sofisticación; emotividad y fuerza.

Historia

El grupo, que inició su carrera en 2001 a partir de la idea de Max Masri (el mas joven y último discipulo de Virgilio Expósito antes de su desaparición). Max ya desde 1997 traía consigo después de haber compartido vivencias en Alemania junto con emigrados rioplatenses, la idea de una música mestiza, que sintetizara la esencia del tango, la nostalgia del desarraigado y la actualidad sonora de la escena electrónica europea. En 1998 Max conoce a Diego Velazquez, y juntos, en momentos robados a otros proyectos en común, comienzan a concebir lo que sería algunos años mas tarde el material debut de Tanghetto.

El grupo comienza a recibir importante reconocimiento a partir de su álbum debut “Emigrante” (2003), que se convierte en disco de platino y es nominado a un Latin Grammy al año siguiente.

“Emigrante” es un disco conceptual que abordó la temática de la crisis argentina de esos años y la consecuente diáspora, inspirándose en las vivencias de esas “pequeñas argentinas”, comunidades de argentinos residentes en el exterior.

El propio nombre “Tanghetto” (la suma de las palabras “tango” y “ghetto”) es también una referencia a estas comunidades de exiliados. Emigrante sentó las bases musicales para la particular fusión de estilos de la banda.

En 2004 el grupo editó Hybrid Tango, un proyecto paralelo que alcanzó el oro y fue también nominado a un Grammy Latino.

Hybrid amplió aún más sus espectros musicales, incorporando elementos de jazz y de otros ritmos sudamericanos.

En 2005, en colaboración con varios DJs, Tanghetto edita “Buenos Aires Remixed”, un disco que también alcanzó el oro y que incluyó remixes de distintas canciones del grupo mas dos covers de bandas británicas emblemáticas: Depeche Mode (“Enjoy the Silence”) y New Order (“Blue Monday”). Este último fue incluído en la banda de sonido de una importante película mexicana (“La Mujer de mi Hermano”) y tuvo gran difusión en Estados Unidos, entrando en diversos charts de college radios y radios

alternativas.

Entre 2005 y 2007, después de haberse consolidado en los escenarios argentinos, el grupo se dedicó a recorrer el mundo mostrando su música en mas de 20 países, incluyendo Estados Unidos, Francia, Alemania, Italia, Reino Unido, México (donde

realizaron un tour de 19 conciertos)

En 2006 se publica el DVD que muestra a la banda en vivo, “Live in Buenos Aires”, así

como también diversos video clips, algunos de ellos ya en rotación en MTV. En una de sus visitas a Londres, graban un “BBC unplugged”.

En 2008 Tanghetto publicó “El Miedo a la Libertad”, un trabajo que lleva aún mas lejos el camino iniciado por “Emigrante” e “Hybrid Tango”. Esta placa contó con la colaboración del gran guitarrista Esteban Morgado.

La gira 2008/2009 (llamada “Tour de la Libertad”) alcanzó y alcanza todavía ciudades como Buenos Aires, Montevideo, São Paulo, London, Paris, Roma, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Viena, Milano, Venezia, Torino, Napoli, Palermo,

Salerno, Verona, Guayaquil, Quito, Bogotá y Estanbul entre otras.

El Miedo a la Libertad-Tanghetto

2009-06-04T18:38:00.000-07:00

El Miedo a la Libertad-Tanghetto (review 1)

This album by Tanghetto is a wonderful surprise. There is an incredible amount of deliberately sequenced soulfulness in "El Miedo a La Libertad". The entire album conveys the mood of a bright and happy day, idling in a beautifully romantic European city, such as Paris.

Track 1,"El Testigo" starts out calmly, and moves the album on toan adventurous note. The middle of the album takes on a upliftingliveliness in track 5, "Viajero Inmóvil" track 6 "Englishman in NewYork" and track 7 "¿Alguien se acuerda del Mayo Francés?".

"El Miedo a la Libertad"-Tanghetto (review 2)

The new cd of Tanghetto challenges again the sound of the"electrotango". The first song called "El testigo" has both elements of electronic music and tango as its best. It is an instrumental song with such a powerful electronic beat that sounds like a hit. The second song of the album "Buscando camorra", in Argentinean slang "Looking for trouble", has the unique touch of those who love milonga and love to dance tango. The third song is a great cover version of the Eurythmycs 1982 hit "Sweet dreams (are made of this)" with perfect and original arrangements that give that classic world music flavor. Another great song of the album is track number five "Viajero Inmovil"." I think is what Piazolla should do if he was still alive". Electronica, tango and world music fused together breaking new ground. What about track number seven? A flamboyant cover of Sting s Top 40 (1987) an "English Man in New York" mixing tango, jazz and reggae without missing a note. Those guys really know how to do it! Sting should be proud and starving for more of "A bandoneonist in New York". And they have many wonderful surprises in this excellent cd "Media Persona"(track N8) has crossed another limit for music purists fusing some of the best music of south america for the first time. "Bossa nova" with "electrotango", creating a beautiful musical atmosphere for those who love quality. This part of the album has a special jazzy touch that begins with track number seven "¿Alguien se acuerda del Mayo Frances?" and that explodes on track number nine, the standard for jazz and acid jazz fans the Herbie Hancock 1964's (and 1993 smasher)"Cantaloupe Island". Tracks number four "El arte de amar" and twelve "El Miedo a la Libertad" are electrotango ballads that will be favourites for dancers and milongueros. The last one has the imput of a millenarian Chinese instrument "the erhu".So this is it, one of our favourite picks for 2008-2009"El miedo a la libertad" can please all: the jazz lover, the milonguero, the world music fan and those who love pop music with extra-quality.

"El Miedo a la Libertad"-Tanghetto (review 3)

The tango electronics from Buenos Aires are back with a new CD containing 12 titles. Their previous productions "Emigrante" and "Hybrid Tango" (both were nominated for the Latin Grammy) made them one of the most popular Electrotango bands. The new album "El Miedo a la Libertad" presents titles like "Media Persona", a fusion between tango and bossa nova, and cover versions of "Englishman in New York" (Sting), where tango, jazz and reggae melt, "Sweet Dreams (are made of this)" (Eurhythmics). The best songs of the record are track number one "El testigo" (strongs beats with a great tango mood), track number five "El viajero Inmovil"(tango with a chinese jazzy musical spirit), track number two "Buscando Camorra" (very cool milonga style song). These guys carry the flag of Piazolla proudly, experimenting without fear.

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.

Emigrante (electrotango)- Tanghetto -(Review 2)

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.

Emigrante (electrotango)- Tanghetto -(Review 3)

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.

Emigrante (electrotango)- Tanghetto -(Review 4)

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.

Emigrante (electrotango)- Tanghetto -(Review 5)

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.
