5.0 out of 5 stars The electronic 21st century heirs of Carlos Gardél and Astor Piazzolla, November 22, 2007

Probably some of the strongest, most diverse, new electronic music you're likely to hear. Often referred to as 'Electronic-Milonga' or 'neo-tango' and founded in 2003 in Barcelona by Argentine musician Miguel Di Genova, with Emmanuel Mayol, Omar Massa and Diego Ramos making up the band. They reference the classic tango artists from the 1920's and 30's, such as Gardél, Razzano and D'Arienzo for their inspiration and source. But it's what they do to it that brings it kicking and screaming into the 21st century - in exuberant fashion - that makes it such great new music.

You will certainly hear samples of Carlos Gardél's 1930s vocals, with Astor Piazzolla's accordian thrown in to the mix. This second album and their debut were smash hits in Argentina and although they could be difficult to find, they're well worth the effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swingin' Tango Tunes (With apologies to all true Tangueros), October 17, 2009

The first time I played this CD on my large commercial sound system, it caught the ear of every one in the room, including all the old guard tango folks. The Milonga selections of this collection are "Great"!!! There is also a video interview. If you are a nuevo tango fan, by all means buy it.

I heard this playing in a local store and asked about it. THe owner had been to Argentina and ask for their top 3 selling CD"'s in a music store. And DOS was one of them. It's hauntingly sexy and catchy. I dont understand a word of spanish, but I love the music. It's my first exposure to "electronic tango" and I've bought a few more Cd's since then. Totally different than enything produced in the U.s.
