1. New electrotango: Sudestada

“Tango Lounge” is the title of this CD by Sudestada. Unfortunately, we don’t know how the band found its name. Originally, “sudestada” is a wind in Argentina, which causes hard rainfalls, mainly in winter and spring, but which is also a herold of warmer times. Well then, let yourself be inspired by this breath of fresh air! The production by Federico Mizrahi is a mixtures of tango and dancefloor and thus belongs to the category of Otros Aires and Carlos Libedinsky. There are 13 titles, and this special release also inlcudes two tangos sung in German by Heidemarie Böhmecke (La Llamadita and Tango de Miércoles).

2. Tango - believed lost and found again: Haris Alexiou, Quinteto Ángel

Haris Alexiou: Anthology (2 CD)

The Greek singer has two tangos in her repertoire (Nefeli’s Tango and For a Tango) , which were (and still are) very popular. Unfortunately, the CDs including these songs could not be found recently. But now, we are happy to present this double CD.

Quinteto Ángel: Danzarín

The debut album by Quinteto Ángel has not been available for some time. Now it is back in stock. The ensemble is from Berlin, Germany, and it is characterized by the great contemporary interpretations of traditional tangos and their fascinating live concerts. This is the link to both CDs by Quinteto Ángel:
