Bajofondo Tango Club

Bajofondo Tango Club Classic 

Nuevo Tango en Buenos Aires

For me this is a better option of New tango that what the Gotan Project offers.  Its worth noting that Bajofondo are an authentic Buenos Aires electronic tango band.

Their music is a fusion of acoustic tango and electronic music, part of an evolving tango genre which is known as “Electrotango” or “Tango Fusion”, which is greatly helping to bring tango back into the mainstream. The band, which prefers to refer itself as a “collective of composers, singers and artists”, has a characteristic style that can be considered, besides the aforementioned mixture of tango and electronica, as an innovative form of DNB, house  chill out and trip-hop.

Their first record, Bajofondo Tango Club, was launched in 2004 with great success, with a second lone project from pianist/DJ/composer Luciano Supervielle greeted warmly by reviewers in late 2005.

In my opinion that first album is a modern day tango classic and make sure you listen to track 6 Perfume which will evoke an image of sensual Buenos Aires.
