Album Notes

Lucio Arce
Tangos Inesperados
Finalmente, el álbum que nadie estaba esperando.

Pocas veces el título de un álbum describió tan certeramente su contenido.
Tangos Inesperados es una curiosa colección de 12 temas originales cuya estructura básica es estrictamente tanguera. La novedad está en el tratamiento que este singular artista le da al típico formato del tango-canción. Letras donde se mezclan la ironía, el romanticismo, el absurdo y hasta el ridículo; el viejo lunfardo con el nuevo, poniendo el dedo en la llaga en los temas que apasionan y atormentan a los argentinos: el fútbol, la corrupción, el amor. Todo montado sobre la impecable producción y los inspirados arreglos de Dino Durand y Sergio Dreiman, que le otorgan un sonido que no por contemporáneo deja de ser tanguero. A esto se suma el talento de un grupo de excelentes músicos: Raúl Jaurena en bandoneón, Pablo Motta en bajo, Pepe Motta en piano, Pedro Eustache en flauta y Julio Ledezma en percusión, entre otros. Además de la imperdible participación de Gustavo Santaolalla (Oscar 2006 y 2007 a la mejor banda de sonido por "Secreto en la montaña" y "Babel") como "Chorimán", en el tema que abre el álbum. No espere más. Los Tangos Inesperados están aquí.

Tangos Inesperados (Unexpected Tangos)
Finally, the album nobody was waiting for.

Rarely has an album's title described its content so accurately. Tangos Inesperados (Unexpected Tangos) is an unusual collection of 12 original songs whose basic structure is strictly tango. The novelty lies in the attitude with which this unique artist approaches the genre. Lyrics where irony meets romanticism, the absurd and even ridicule, mixing new slang with the old, messing around with the topics that inspire passion and torment the Argentines (and other peoples as well): love, corruption, soccer, etc. The impecable production and inspired arrangements by Dino Durand and Sergio Dreiman provide the perfect backdrop, with a beautiful sound that is both traditional and contemporary. Durand recruited a group of talented musicians for the occasion: Raúl Jaurena (bandoneon), Pablo Motta (bass), Pepe Motta (piano), Pedro Eustache (flute) and Julio Ledezma (percussion), among others. Not to be missed is twice in a row Academy Award winner Gustavo Santaolalla (best original music for Brokeback Mountain, 2006; and Babel, 2007) vocal performance as "Chorimán", the epic tune that opens the album. The wait is over. Unexpected Tangos is here.

finally, new, original tangos
author: Mariana Jackson
This CD has tangos that are clever and at times funny. It is nice to finally hear a new tango, instead of the same old rehashed ones that are always performed. Very refreshing album.
