Free Music Notes for Emigrante
Free Music Review: Not a fan
Hit: 2 Stars
Sorry to say I'm not a huge fan of Tanghetto even after seening them play live at La Viruta last month. Few of the tracks are just undanceable and the music gets pretty boring after a while. I say if you want neuvo tango try Narcotango or Otro Aires. Free Music Review: A conglomeration of meaningless noise
Hit: 2 Stars
After discovering and loving the sound of Gotan Project I was shopping around for groups with a similar sound. I stumbled along Emigrante and upon reading the other reviews written on this site about this cd, I thought I had found another gem. Boy was I wrong. The first track drew me in and left me spellbound, unfortunately, it was all downhill after that. I was listening to the cd for the first time in my car and forgot it was even on. The rest of the songs were so uninspiring, the music soon became nothing more than meaningless background noise.Free Music Review: Asensei
Hit: 5 Stars
Great Cd, if you like Bajofondo and Gotan Project, this is a great find. I would rec for anyonw who loves fusion tango/electronic beatsFree Music Review: bold & beautiful, love the variation
Hit: 5 Stars
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
Free Music Review: Best Neo-Tango Disk of 2004
Hit: 5 Stars
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 in 2004? You will note that it may take a long time between the ordering of this disk and its delivery. It is well worth the wait.
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 and music of Carlos Libedinsky. 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.
