Carlos Libedinsky - Narco Tango

A Deep Embrace Between Tango and the Electronic Music Atmosphere of Our Time. "at the Hour When There Are Only a Few Couples Left on the Dancing Floor, Magic Sneaks Into the Milonga, and I Watch People Experimenting a New Kind of Tango Dance, When the Bodies Are Exhausted from Dancing for Hours and We Don't Want the Night to End, at that Hour Narcotango was Born. It was Then that I Could Imagine this Music, at that Moment, the Narcotic Power of Tango Takes Over and Confirms, Once Again, that I have Entered a Universe Inside of Me that is Hard to Leave, Because Tango Generates a Sensual and Powerfull Addiction." --carlos Libedinsky Album Details

new melodies for tango lovers...

Narcotango is just different than others neotango producers like Bajofondo tango club or Tanghetto, even different from great compilations. Being in one of their concerts is a total experience where you listen a new concept, elements and that special touch of bandoneon mixed with delicious loops, bass and electric guitar, without forget all the power of drums.

Narcotango is something that I have never seen and much better than anything!!!!

Narcotango como propuesta de Carlitos Libedinsky es algo jamás antes visto y mejor que cualquier otro!!!!

DIfferent Tango Music

I already was familiar with this music and it is a nice change from the tranditional bandeon for dancing Tango. November 21, 2007

Narcotango

Narcotango es tal vez el mejor trabajo de la explosión que conjuntó tango y electrónica y que tuvo en Gotan Project uno de sus más claros exponentes. February 25, 2006

for lovers of liquid tango

This is great modern tango for lovers of liquid tango - new tango with an eclectic edge. I love dancing to almost every track and if only I could find enough great partners out there I'd be dancing non-stop as there's so much potential to create fantastic dances in response to it. However, if you're a non-dancer this is still a great CD with wonderful tracks that will be great backdrops for any laid-back social gathering or to chill out with a coffee on a lazy Sunday morning.

Newest Wave in Tango

Once thought by many to be a dying art form, tango shows remarkable resilience as its newest banner is being unfurled by young Argentines who have discovered and embraced the music as their own. Some diehards may find it hard to accept, but the only way that tango can survive as a focal point of Argentine culture is through continuous evolution. If one accepts tango only as it used to be, then it becomes reduced to a mere curiosity and tourist attraction. Innovative,once controversial but now beloved artists like Astor Piazzolla, Osvaldo Berlingieri, and Roberto Goyeneche led the vanguard of a new way of tango expression in the decades following the Golden Era; today artists like Carlos Libedinsky and American Glover Gill take up where they left off.
I first experienced Narcotango when a friend brought me a CD back from a dancing trip to Buenos Aires. When I first played it my first reaction was that the group did quite a good job melding the traditional with the new. I like tango in general, whether it be guardia vieja, orchestral, or nuevo tango. So I had no trouble accepting Libedinsky's marriage of tango and electronic dance club elements.
My favorites here are the slow and sultry Vi Luz y Subi', the trance-inducing Plano Secuencia, the melancholy of the guitar and violin based Otra Luna, the driving and jazzy Un Paso Mas Alla', the unusual take on Gardel's classic Mi Buenos Aires Queri..., the touch of Piazzolla in Trancetango, and the slow-burning Humo that closes tha CD.
I'm going to check out the Gotan Project and the Bajofondo Tango Club mentioned by some reviewers, but in the meantime Narcotango will get lots of play. If you like modern Argentine tango and haven't heard this CD yet, then I recommend that you try it out. I'm certainly glad that I was turned on to it! September 21, 2005
