Tango's Revenge
They call it new tango—and for this group of young, gifted musicians, new is an understatement. The sounds rippling out of Argentina today have nothing to do with your father’s tango or even the strains you might hear at the tango dance school down the street. The nascent, percussive music being played in little clubs and on street corners is more world beat than tango. Full of anger and tragedy, jazz rhythms and rock beats, new tango music pulsates like Buenos Aires itself. Tango’s Revenge tells the story of this musical revolution and how a group of gifted young artists has taken as their mission to redefine the sound and culture of one of the great musical genres of the world: tango.
