Argentine tango - I am currently listening to

La Pulpera de Santa Lucia, intrumental, harmonica version. I really like this vals music but I have no idea who played it. May be someone here in the forum could help me.
 
The vals is played by harmonicist Hugo Diaz. The song is on the double CD set "Hugo Diaz in Buenos Aires", released by Japanese RCA Victor label, which is available only in Japan. Hugo Diaz' harmonica versions of many of our favorite tangos are wonderful, so sultry. If you know someone in Japan, ask them to buy it for you. I cost about $37 US.


There is some nice background information on Hugo Diaz at the tangoevolution website. I wasn't permitted to insert the URL here for you but if you search around that site you'll find it.

If you look for his music, don’t mistake it for another tango musician also named Hugo Diaz, who is a bandoneonist.

Me too!!!


Thank you AATanguera. Somehow everytime there is a music I like it is not readily available. At least I have an info to start with.
 
Hopefully I do not interfere in experienced tango addicts "view of the world" by saying this: I found the perfect piece of music to dance the real style, while not even close to being tango music!
Try dancing to Michael Bublé's - Feeling Good
even my Maestro had to surrender, it is grandious...

The difficult thing with Piazzolla is that there is no regular beat, so it can be hard to dance to, especially for beginners. If you are more advanced you might enjoy the challenge, and it can be great if you know the music very well. My instructor loves Piazzolla and could dance to it all night. I like a couple, but prefer a bit of variety!

Personally I don't have a problem with the fact that Piazzolla himself didn't see his music as dance music. I should think that most people who think it's wrong to dance to Piazzolla also don't like to dance to other modern music, or electrotango or "alternative" songs. Nothing wrong with that, we all have different tastes. I say live and let live.

Piazzolla and electronic-tango its danced differently. Its like other type of tango... its hard to explain.
 
TRex...Electric Warrior....... and I am asking the inevitable question. Can one dance tango or Milonga to this music? (of my youth)

Jeepster has a very hard funky rhythm...
 
Well, I'm not actually listening to it...but am on the hunt for a version that I can buy as a single, instead of the entire album...

"Weird is Good" by Hans Zimmer from the Matchstick Men soundtrack.

Any thoughts out there, people? It's not on iTunes, it's not on Napster.
 
Thanks, ssjss!

Currently listening to "Milonga Para Alberto" by Tango Crash.

It's got to be the screwiest milonga I've heard yet, and I LOVE it.

It gets played almost every time, late at night, at the milonga I go to. And, people dance to it.

I think Tango Crash are excellent very innovative, jazzy. Never occurred to me to try dancing to "Milonga Para Alberto" but I will.
 
I just relized that I got over 38 hours of AT music. For some reason this isn't enuff. When are more AT podcast coming. I'm surprised there aren't any neo-tango cast at all.
