Album Notes

Mambo Daddy (2005)


"Starshine. Naturally luminous beyond the constellations of hype manufactured by wannabes and media mavens, the real thing is unmistakable. Tangoman's got it."
- Cat Ballou, Woodstock Times

"Many of Heilpern's songs are delivered in his native tongue, but they require no translation. Their meanings can be deciphered by the expressions seen on his face, heard in his voice, and felt in his heart. Transcending linguistic boundaries, [Tangoman] conveys his message to the sheer telepathic power of their emotional credibility. The man is a romantic."
- Dennis Dzamba, Metroland (Albany, NY)

"Whether you are dancing all night to Tangoman, the rapturous romantic band of Argentinean singer/songwriter Jorge Heilpern, or viewing Tangoman in solo performance with just his voice and acoustic guitar, you are bound to get your feeling stirred. His music defines those paradoxical, elusive experiences that break your heart and make life worth living."
- Dakota Lane, Woodstock Times

"Only a dead man could keep off the dance floor."
- Kitty Montgomery, Kingston Freeman

"Tangoman's vital signs are attached to more than one man. In fact, much of their music is instrumental, both literally and figuratively creating a sultry, tropical density that nicely complements Heilpern's voice.
- Dennis Dzamba, Metroland (Albany, NY)
