Description of Bailemos Tango!: A Century of Tango on the Dance Floor

Subsequent tracks highlight the disparate musical styles that make up the tango: the Cuban-influenced milonga, the African beat of candomb?, and the tango ballad, or canci?n, illustrated here by "Yira-Yira," one of Gardel's more obscure recordings. Other well-known talents included here are famed 1940s bandole?n player An?bal Troilo, expressive pianist Osvaldo Pugliese, and tango modernist Astor Piazzolla. Bailemos Tango! ends with a contemporary tango played by Tangata Rea, a group of young Argentine musicians set on reviving the music and dance for their generation. As its title suggests, Bailemos Tango! will enrich the repertoire of dedicated dancers. For nondancers, it provides a sentimental education in the tango art, nice for quiet evenings at home with loved ones, but more appropriate for evenings spent yearning for them. --Judy Cantor
