 With a great combination of
European electronica and Argentinean Tango,
Tanghetto, the electrotango band from Buenos Aires
is making a great impact on the Argentinean music
scene. Their debut album called Emigrant
(electrotango) has made a crossover impact
over some record stores in Buenos Aires, reaching
number two on Tower Records Top 25 (Norah Jones
held the top position).
People connected with their label, Constitution
Music, reported that the record has top 5 impact
on almost all the record stores that sell the CD
and of course use in-store play as the major
medium for airplay. Tanghetto's success is partly
helped by other artists in the neo tango scene
like Ultratango and Bajo Fondo Tango Club, and
that's why electrotango music dominates the
Argentinean tango charts (5 out of 10 albums from
Argentina's top internet tango shop http://www.tangostore.com/
are electrotango/neo tango albums).
They
even get played at very conservative milongas.
Ernestina Cavedo, a young tango dancer, says
"it's great that young Argentineans are playing
tango again, at least it's quite refreshing
"http://www.tanghetto.com."it's a great option for people that don't
get much out of traditional tango or don't like
the way it sounds." You can listen to some
