Overview

Flowing with energy and style, The Rough Guide to Tango Revival features new tango from the clubs and dance floors of Argentina and beyond, where the next generation of musicians distil tango's enduring magic and popularity. The compilation includes tracks by such greats as the Seleccion Nacional De Tango, the stylish Orquesta Color Tango De Roberto Alvarez, the thrilling La Camorra, the punk-poet-tanguero-classicist of Buenos Aires, Daniel Melingo, and the jazz- and electronica-inflected Tango Siempre. The bonus disc presents Carlos Gardel's King Of Tango. A tango legend, Gardel (1887-1935) helped make tango popular throughout the world. He recorded over 900 songs, starred in numerous films, and was instrumental in transforming the formerly lowlife dance style into a mass culture. Everything about Gardel -- his perfect voice, suavity, arrogance, and machismo -- represent tango at the height of its power.
