1. New CDs by Africando and El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico
Africando: Ketekuba
Senegal meets Salsa
Great production. It becomes evident that Salsa does not only work
in Spanish. After three years, the public has awaited eagerly the new
album by Africando following the previous recordings Baloba!, Betece and
Martina. It is an hommage to Gnonnas Pedro, who was one of the singers
of Africando until 2004. Listen to the CD! The booklet shows the
translations of the songs.
Africando: Ketekuba
El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico: Arroz con Habichuela
This legendary Salsa Combo has survived in the music business for 45
years now, and it has inspired Salsa enthusiasts ever since. Their
first recording since 2004 prooves that Salsa doesn't need pomp, pop
or rap in order to be up-to-date. The musicians convince with their
musicality and they bewitch both dancers and lovers of music.
Wonderful!

2. Tango Nuevo by Tango Jointz, Tango à Trois
Tango Jointz: Palermo Nuevo
The Electrotango, the Neotango - became popular with Gotan Project,
Bajofondo Tango Club and Carlos Libedinsky. Being an insider tip for music
enthusiasts in the beginning, it soon gained acceptance in the
Milongas. Tango Jointz named their debut after a dance club in Buenos
Aires and they combine tango rhythms with down tempo beats. 7 of the
8 tracks are with vocals. Here are sound samples:
Tango Jointz: Palermo Nuevo
Tango à Trois: Café Banlieu
Peter Ludwig, addicted to Tango for 30 years now, founded the
legendary "Tango Mortale" with Anja Lechnerin 1983. Three recordings
were published between 1995 and 1997: Tango Gift, Magnétique Tango and Tango à
Trois. Various national and international performances added to their
big success. The composer and arranger interprets tango in his own
way. His Tango compositions are not "gloomy, depressive and bloody"
like others we know from Argentina. The new production is called
"Café Banlieu". A new line-up - Arben Spahiu, Peter
Wöpke, Peter Ludwig -, a new band name - Tango à Trois - but still the
same passion!
Tango à Trois: Café Banlieu
