The 2nd album from the Argentine tango band Conjunto Berretin, "Tangamente" is a montage of classic Argentine tangos played in the "a la parilla" style -- improvised -- and always with the tango dancers in mind. This album also contains an original blues, chacarera (Argentine folk), several "cortinas" (meant to clear the dance floors as traditionally done in the dance halls of Buenos Aires), and an original tango vals composed by Allen Regnier and Carrie Bodensteiner.
The musicians come from various backgrounds: jazz, blues, classical -- with one thing in common: a love for Argentine tango and with the intention of always playing for the dancers.
Enjoy!

As good or better than first CD. Musicians capture true tango spirit.

I have a collection of over 3,000 tangos from Argentina and Europe. Conjunto Berretin compares favorably with what we call La Guardia Vieja (The Old Guard), tangos of the golden era 1930's - 1950's and with more modern interpreters. These musicians are extremely skilled, their interpretations are superb. The pianist is awesome. My one reservation is the vocals - I can do without them, the quality of singing could be greatly improved. Please don't sing Melena or any tango in English. English lyrics don't belong in our old treasured
tangos of Argentina! Next time, just give us instrumental tangos. Thank you.

I loved both Berretin's CDs. Mostly old Argentine Tangos with a distinct American jazzy accents. I put some tangos from this CD during tango practica and watched my fellow dancers enjoying it immensly. There are two reasons why I gave this CD 4 instead of 5 stars: (1) Mix of live and studio recorded music does not work very well for dancing thru the whole disc(2) the disc DOES NOT consist of .CDA files, which makes it very impossible for me to recompile a shorter version for practicas
