This double CD represents new recordings of the greatest songs in tango history.
Café De Los Maestros is the most ambitious project ever undertaken involving tango repertoire. Winning producer/composer Gustavo Santaolalla (Motorcycle Diaries and Brokeback Mountain) reunites the outstanding tango musicians of the 1940s and '50s in Buenos Aires. Featuring Aníbal Arias, Leopoldo Federico, Oscar Ferrari, Carlos García, Juan Carlos Godoy, Lágrima Ríos, and Horacio Salgán to name a few.
In this state-of-the-art recording Café De Los Maestros displays a wide range of different tango styles: from traditional to milongas and creole waltzes; from purely orchestral numbers to vocal pieces – all in the authentic style of the old maestros! An unprecedented homage to tango!
