Tango Nuevo – track 1.

Tango Nuevo – track 2.

Tango Nuevo – track 3.

Piazzolla is considered to be THE tango nuevo, however, there were predecessors, contemporaries and followers who were the great artists in their own right.

Bernardo Monk, an Argentine tango/jazz musician based in Boston, MA talks about some

of those musicians and composers.

Bernardo particularly admires the modern bandoneonist

Nestor Marconi. He mentioned playing and recording with the great master. You can hear the recording on Monk’s CD  Ponele la firma

(composition Troesma).

Nestor Marconi is familiar to the most of the dancers for his rendition of Libertango with Yo-yo Ma for the soundtrack to Sally Potter’s movie Tango Lesson. See the recording session of Libertango on YouTube.com.

Marconi also recorded Soul of Tango with Yo-yo Ma (tracks 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11). He also plays on the soundtrack to the famous movie by Carlos Saura Tango and Fernando E. Solanas’ Sur.

Bernardo mentioned the singer Roberto Goyeneche, “the great Pole”, and the series of recordings which Marconi and Goyeneche made together. Watch the YouTube.com video clip of two artists – Marconi and Goyeneche – performing together Naranjo en flor. The clip’s quality is not the greatest, but you will not fail to notice that Goyeneche “acts” his tangos, not just sings them. It is mesmerizing, even if you do not understand a word in Spanish.
