Tango Siempres' music is recognisable as contemporary tango in either style - rhythmic devices, melodic ornamentation, the all-pervading influence of Astor Piazzolla - or mood - wi stful melodies, minor keys - or sound â€' emotional violins, the magnificently expressive yet diabolically finger-busting bandoneon. Aside from a mazurka and a chamamé (with unexpected South African influences) all the music has Piazzolla’s nuevo tango as a touchstone with the addition of drums, electronics, jazz improvisation (and some slightly wonky harmony in Straw Dogs). Although it isn’t traditional tango dance music, three of the pieces have been used as a basis for contemporary tango choreography. One of these songs is Straw Dogs” which is the result of leafing through Dave Liebman’s book on chromaticism in jazz. The dancers we were working with described this as the most horrible piece of music they had ever heard. Tango + tragedy + comedy + drums + distorted violin = tango inglés.Track Listing Introduction A Matter of Life and Death Belo Horizonte Straw Dogs Il Segreto The Word Tango Milonga Polirrítmica Dance of Death Only Human Chango Triphop & Fugue It was me Additional DetailsLabel: Galileo MCGenre: LatinRun Time: 2.1305 minsRelease Date: 11/21/08UPC: 4250095800313 Show more
