5.0 out of 5 stars Hot album - Hot band!
"Tango Fango" (1976). I have waited years for this to come out on CD. This is what was called in the 70's ACID JAZZ. This guys jam hard with jazz- rock -fusion. I have been a drummer since 1974 and Mani Neumeier is one of the best drummers ever-period! This talented band in all of it's different line-ups has always entertained for 30+years. They are still making new...

3.0 out of 5 stars Guru Guru - 'Tango Fango' (Repertoire)
Originally released in 1976,this certainly isn't THE Guru Guru that I've become so very fond of from their earlier lp's,like 'UFO','Hinten' and 'Kan Guru'. This is WAY more instrumental jazz/rock that's fused with experimental weirdness. It's well-written and well played,I'll give it that much.Best tracks were "Tomorrow",the title cut "Tango Fango" and "Banana...

"Tango Fango" (1976). I have waited years for this to come out on CD. This is what was called in the 70's ACID JAZZ. This guys jam hard with jazz- rock -fusion. I have been a drummer since 1974 and Mani Neumeier is one of the best drummers ever-period! This talented band in all of it's different line-ups has always entertained for 30+years. They are still making new music today. Exellent guitar players throughout their history including Sepp Jandrisis and Ax Gernrich. Multi-talented Roland Schaeffer plays a mean soprano sax on this CD. Great guitar riffs and even a great pop-type song "Tomorrow" with some of the best vocals they ever recorded. They have loads of fun in the studio, and no other band in the world sounds like them. Check this CD out, and earlier ones for much heavier jams.

3.0 out of 5 stars Guru Guru - 'Tango Fango' (Repertoire), July 19, 2006
This review is from: Tango Fango (Audio CD)
Originally released in 1976,this certainly isn't THE Guru Guru that I've become so very fond of from their earlier lp's,like 'UFO','Hinten' and 'Kan Guru'. This is WAY more instrumental jazz/rock that's fused with experimental weirdness. It's well-written and well played,I'll give it that much.Best tracks were "Tomorrow",the title cut "Tango Fango" and "Banana Flip".Line-up:Mani Neumeier-drums&keyboards,Sepp Goldschmidt-guitar,Roland Schaeffer(of Brainstorm)-synthesizer&guitar and Jogi Karpentiel-bass.Fans of '70's progressive and Latin jazz would obviously probably get more out of this CD reissue than I did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Guru Guru goes Latin Dance - Jazz, October 14, 2001
This review is from: Tango Fango (Audio CD)
Diese Platte ist meiner Meinung ein Highlight des Kraut-Rock der 70-er Jahre. Wenn der deutsche Rock sich selbst sehr seriös und intellektuell in ellenlangen Rezensionen in Zeitschriften artikulierte, ... Eine Gruppe war da ganz anders, sie war talentiert, humorvoll und spielte einfach drauf los: Guru Guru, seit Jahrzehnten eine beliebte Pop-Festival Attraktion in Deutschland.

Tango Fango ist wie "Guru Guru" kein langes improvisatorisches Werk. "Guru Guru" machte einen melodiösen Ausflug ind den Hard/Rock & Rock`n Roll, "Tango Fango" bietet kurze, ins Ohr gehende Stücke die an lateinamerikanische, karibische Musik und Jazz erinnern. Tanzbar, unaufdringlich, immer dominiert Mani Neumaiers polyrhytmische Schlagzeug-Kunst. Funkelnde schimmernde Keyboard Klänge und ein Saxophon veredeln das Werk.

Am Ende noch ein Schmanker: "Das lebendige Radio" ist eine humoristische fiktive "Radioshow" mit Volksmusik. So schräg aber auch seriös präsentiert (man glaubt zuerst, wirklich ein konventionelles Radioprogramm eingeschaltet zu haben), erst bei "Kaiserjodler" und "Schnaderlhupferl" merkt man, daß etwas nicht stimmt, man offenbar veräppelt wird. Man kann sich über die letzten 10 Minuten wirklich kranklachen.

Ein Must-Buy für Freunde des Kraut Rocks, Latin-Jazz und Humor.
