The New Tango is very modern, a little jazzy, and has a lot of dance. It has so many flavor of instruments in this album. The instrumentals are well composed, and you of course don't need lyrics for music like this. It's more about hearing it and just letting the music flow as you listen to the tunes. While I can appreciate all the artistic arrangements of this album I don't think I will be one to embark on the instrumental listening of tango anytime soon.
History: Astor Piazzolla was an artist who would update the genre of tango into something called the nuevo tango. It mixed in elements of jazz with classical styles to create the new sound. For this album he teamed up with musician, Gary Burton, to add more musical variety to the music and composure of the sound.
