About the album

Immigrant populations of Argentina and Uruguay, Tango music, like many other genres, has developed from its original roots to the format known today and loved throughout the world.

The word “tango,” some say, is derived from the Latin word “tangere,” which means “to touch.” In its early days, tango was the cultural expression of immigrants and societal outcasts in slums and the bordellos of Buenos Aires. This first generation of tango players from Buenos Aires was called “Guardia Vieja” (the Old Guard). It took time to move into wider circles, however, in the 1920’s, tango had become popular among the city’s larger society, moving to the barrios or middle-class neighbourhoods and then to the Argentine upper class.

Over the years, tango has undergone a long stylistic journey from its roots to the Golden Age of the 1930’s and 40’s and through to Tango Nuevo championed by Astor Piazzolla in the 1950’s and 60’s. Today tango boasts a number of new styles that fuse elements of jazz and electronics while the tradition remains.

This album, featuring three of today’s best-known proponents of the style, Horacio Romo, Pablo Agri and Emiliano Messiez, is a trio recording presenting a format that is somewhat unconventional in the tango world. The most famous setting for tango music is, of course, the “Orquestas Típicas” often including over a dozen performers however, smaller formats featuring four to six players are also popular. The typical trio format found in tango music consists of piano, bandoneon and double bass. Speaking about the line-up of this trio, pianist Emiliano Messiez said “It’s not that common to find a trio setting with piano, bandoneon and violin. When we first started to talk about this project, we were worried that the bass sound would be missing, however once we started playing, we realized that this is not really an issue.”
Wie viele andere Genres hat sich auch die Tangomusik von ihren ursprünglichen Wurzeln zu dem heute bekannten und weltweit beliebten Format entwickelt, das von Einwanderern aus Argentinien und Uruguay stammt.
Manche sagen, das Wort "Tango" sei vom lateinischen Wort "tangere" abgeleitet, was "berühren" bedeutet. In seinen Anfängen war der Tango der kulturelle Ausdruck von Einwanderern und gesellschaftlich Ausgestoßenen in den Slums und Bordellen von Buenos Aires. Diese erste Generation von Tangospielern aus Buenos Aires wurde "Guardia Vieja" (die alte Garde) genannt. Es dauerte eine Weile, bis der Tango in breitere Kreise vordrang, aber in den 1920er Jahren war er in der breiten Gesellschaft der Stadt populär geworden und hatte sich in den Barrios oder den Vierteln der Mittelschicht und später in der argentinischen Oberschicht etabliert.
Im Laufe der Jahre hat der Tango eine lange stilistische Entwicklung durchgemacht, von seinen Wurzeln über das Goldene Zeitalter der 1930er und 40er Jahre bis hin zum Tango Nuevo, der in den 1950er und 60er Jahren von Astor Piazzolla vertreten wurde. Heute hat der Tango eine Reihe neuer Stile, die Elemente des Jazz und der Elektronik vereinen, während die Tradition erhalten bleibt.
Dieses Album mit drei der bekanntesten Vertreter dieses Stils, Horacio Romo, Pablo Agri und Emiliano Messiez, ist eine Trio-Aufnahme, die ein in der Tangowelt eher unkonventionelles Format präsentiert. Der berühmteste Rahmen für Tangomusik sind natürlich die "Orquestas Típicas", die oft mehr als ein Dutzend Interpreten umfassen, aber auch kleinere Formate mit vier bis sechs Spielern sind beliebt. Die typische Trio-Besetzung in der Tangomusik besteht aus Klavier, Bandoneon und Kontrabass. Der Pianist Emiliano Messiez sagte über die Besetzung dieses Trios: "Eine Trio-Besetzung mit Klavier, Bandoneon und Violine ist nicht so üblich. Als wir anfingen, über dieses Projekt zu sprechen, waren wir besorgt, dass der Klang des Basses fehlen würde, aber als wir anfingen zu spielen, stellten wir fest, dass dies nicht wirklich eine Problem ist."
