Another great double CD from Manteca which covers recorded and live recordings from in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Astor Piazzolla revolutionised Argentinean tango but in the process made himself a lot of enemies within his own country, it wasn’t until later in his career that his work was honoured there. It’s estimated he wrote over 3,000 pieces of this new tango (tango nuevo) with jazz and classical mixing into the traditional tango ‘a music for the head – as well as for the soul’. Magic.
