Buy Now	Un Dia (more) »rank: 2746 by: Juana Molina : :The fifth release from Argentinean artist Molina is a brave departure from her previous work. It's every bit as personal and intimate, but pronounced with rhythms and with bold low end added to the mix. A hypnotic record, restless, alive with melodies that surface imperceptibly before burrowing into your brain. The tracks are informed by an ever-shifting and polymorphous sense of groove. The rhythms flow over and inside each other, played out on wood and cymbal and bombo leguero, and woven from electronic glitches. David Byrne, NPR, and The NY Times are some of her many supporters.

Buy Now	Lunático (more) »rank: 2915 by: Gotan Project :Album Description:Not wanting to replicate what their debut, 'La Revancha Del Tango', had achieved musically, the group has a decidedly stronger emphasis on the organic roots of tango on 'Lunatico' and utilized a host of local musicians from Buenos Aires; a complete string section, two emcees, a trombonist, and Argentine piano legend and long time Gotan collaborator Gustavo Beytelmann. The result is their most accomplished work yet. 'The beats are sparse and liquid, and the transition from Buenos Aires bordello to European dance floor is seamless' - Rolling Stone. 'A jiggy melange of tango with a dab of dub' - Entertainment Weekly. '...an ...

Buy Now	Tango: Zero Hour (more) »rank: 9675 by: Astor Piazzolla & New Tango Quintet : essential recording:Astor Piazzolla lived and died as tango's bad boy, having almost single handedly invented the music's vanguard, the form known as tango nuevo. It took Piazzolla decades to reach his unequivocal apex, which is captured flawlessly on Tango Zero Hour. When this recording was cut in 1986, some of the compositions Piazzolla and his quintet cued up were standards for the band. Whether it was an epiphanic period or not, the recording captures an ensemble alchemically transforming seriously complex works into goose-bump-inducing electricity. Pianist Pablo Ziegler brings his jazz background into the mix with jarring urgency, just as violinist Fernando Suárez ...	Buy Now	The Best Tango Album in the World, Ever!

Buy Now	Gran Hotel Buenos Aires (more) »rank: 9282 by: Federico Aubele : :Young Argentine guitarist Federico Aubele became transfixed with the music of Astor Piazzolla even as he listened to the cool lounge sounds of Thievery Corporation and the Six Degrees label. Incredibly, he put these influences together for an exceptional debut album entitled Gran Hotel Buenos Aires. It's produced by the Thievery guys, but one gets the sense that this really came from Aubele. He surrounds his downtempo beats delicate acoustic guitar figures, an array of sexy women singers (all vocals are in Spanish), and a rich tapestry of sounds and tones. Pushing flamenco and various styles of Latin music to the fore, he ...
