Details:
This album brings together professional tango music legends Pedro Giraudo (bass), Nick Danielson (violin), and Hector Pablo "El Pulpo" Peyreyra (vocals) along with dancer/musician Evan Griffiths (piano) and Alex Krebs (bandoneon) to create a solid, danceable tango album. This album follows in the footsteps of the great tango orquestas of the Golden Age of tango with solid, traditional techniques, idomatic syncopations, and expressive lyricism that are essential to the genre. It was recorded in one day, and on several tracks there was no sheet music, no run through and very little discussion, and the first take is what is on the disc.
The album was recorded at Lofish Studios in New York by John Hopkins (recording engineer for R.E.M.) in April of 2009, mixed and mastered by Nick Moon at Tone Proper (mastering engineer for George Clinton, Prince, Pink Martini, ...) in December of 2009.
