Rodrigo y Gabriela

Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) more music like this

by Rodrigo y Gabriela

While Rodrigo y Gabriela's self-titled third album is an utter and complete joy to listen to -- actually, it's more of a riotous celebration -- it's more than difficult to describe exactly what they do. This Mexican guitar duo met while in a heavy metal outfit together and soon found the local scene wanting. Both had roots in flamenco and other ...

Lunático (2006) more music like this

by Gotan Project

After the global smash that was La Revancha del Tango, issued in 2001, expectations for Gotan Project's Philippe Cohen Solal, Christoph H. Muller, and Eduardo Makaroff were high. After all, they created a new kind of electronic fusion in taking the tango, street, and folk music forms from Latin America (played by studio musicians) and melding them ...

The Best Tango Album in the World, Ever! (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

The title of this television-advertised compilation may be arrogant, but then the tango is not a dance for the shy and retiring. Whether or not it is, as it claims, The Best Tango Album in the World, Ever!, the two-disc set, containing 30 tracks and running a little less than an hour and a half, does feature some major performers of the music, ...

Silencio

Silencio (2000) more music like this

by Gidon Kremer & Kremerata Baltica

Kremer's orchestra returns with a program of music centered (for the most part) on silence. With the exception of the first movement of Arvo Pärt's Tabula Rasa, the works on this recording explore themes of quiet and introspection. Not that these pieces are background music; these are all complex pieces. Glass' Company, in fact, has a cascade of ...

The Soul of Tango: Greatest Hits

The Soul of Tango: Greatest Hits (2000) more music like this

by Astor Piazzolla

One of a number of posthumous attempts by various labels to present a coherent picture of the whole of Astor Piazzolla's genius, this collection makes that attempt by separating his music into a number of different groups. It begins with an orchestral introduction number, then moves into his first major group on the album, the Quintet, with a pair ...

by Federico Aubelle

Argentine Federico Aubele is first and foremost a guitar player.

The Rough Guide to Paris Cafe Music (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Paris is more than the city of romance. It's also the city of cafes -- the famous sidewalk places of beautiful women, and existential philosophers linger over dark coffee. But over the last century those cafes have also given Paris a musical identity, that of the bals musette , its songs and melodies powered by the accordion. The great chanteuse ...

Hommage A Piazzolla (1996) more music like this

by Astor Piazzolla

From the violinist and Piazzolla fanatic Gidon Kremer comes this album of works by Piazzolla, along with one song in tribute to the legend. He covers a decent range of Piazzolla's work, moving equally well between slower milongas and faster tangos. The album starts out with the relatively somber, but quite dramatic "Milonga en re." It then moves ...

The Rough Guide to Astor Piazzolla (2005) more music like this

by Astor Piazzolla

Astor Piazzolla was one of the greatest musicians to emerge from Argentina, one who took the tango and made it into an art form that stretched between jazz, classical, and even rock, while never losing sight of its soul in the bars of Buenos Aires. This excellent collection covers those facets very adequately, from the cool jazz meets tango mood ...

If You Love Me (2007) more music like this

by Richard Galliano Quartet

Richard Galliano long ago staked his claim as the heir apparent to the late Astor Piazzolla, the undisputed icon of tango music. But the French Galliano has never been an imitator and has always sought to push the music beyond what the Argentinean Piazzolla might have considered. As an accordionist, Galliano has not only absorbed the essence of ...

The Rough Guide to the Music of Argentina (2004) more music like this

by Various Artists

While attempting to show off the diversity of Argentine music beyond the omnipresent tango, The Rough Guide to the Music of Argentina may have countered its own intentions, by displaying a wide variety of tango, certainly, but also by displaying other non-tango styles, wherein it happens that the influences of tango can be heard quite often. That ...
