Album Notes

Chris Vasquez sings with the soul of Buenos Aires. His passionate interpretations of Carlos Gardel's classic Argentinian tangos resonate with the fire and the deception that has become synonymous with tango. The legendary singer and composer Carlos Gardel wrote songs that reflected the mood and sentiment of Buenos Aires in the 1930's, and when Chris Vasquez sings these songs, their meaning ring again as loudly today as they did back then. As The Tango Times professes, "Mr. Vasquez soulfully sings of suffering and love."

Accompanied only with bandoneon and guitar, Mr. Vasquez's CD, "Carlos Gardel...then and now," keeps alive the traditional style of tango, but mixes in the pains of the contemporary world. The result is a beautifully sung melody filled with the sweet pain of love.


Musicians on the recording:

Hector "Tito" Castro, bandoneon
Francisco "Pancho" Navarro, guitar




Honors:

Clench that rose between your teeth, throw your head back and dip your shoulders, winking, as you tango around your living room (eek, watch out for the furniture!) in this evocative album of classic Argentinian tangos. With the impassioned voice of the legendary singer Carlos Gardel, guitar and bandoneón accompaniment, you will be embarking on an unforgettable seduction.. run kitty, run!

I feel like I have been taken back in time. I want to dance the tango and feel its sensuality. The songs were varied in their beat and tempo. A wonderful experience. I feel like I just returned from vacationing in Buenos Aires.

The background, bandoneon and guitar, is wonderful but sometimes just a little strong. It is a pure sound with good genuine background music without all the usual overpowering high tech machinery used by so many other artists. It is a very moving c.d. Good selection of Tangos.

Although English is my native tongue this tango was easy listening and conveyed the mood with much passion. I just wanted to put on a flowing gown and get up and do the tango with a handsome young man!
