An accordian never sounded so sexy. 

To truly understand the world of Tango, you must make room in your music collection.  There should be a good mix of classics, reinterpretations, and, as previously mentioned, some sexy accordian playing. 

Tango Music Every Aspiring Argentine Tango Dancer Must Own

We asked Argentine Tango consultant, Giuliano Scarpati, to offer his expert advice on building a great collection of Tango music.  Here are his recommendations. 

Tango Master Collection

By Juan D'Arienzo

Giuliano's Summary:

"You have everything you need here. It’s very authentic music, with a nice clear timing and a suggestive melody. An aspiring tango dancer must be aware that he/she needs to know tango vals and milonga, to be successful on the dance floor. So, thinking about that, here are some of the bests songs ever."

 




The Tango Lesson

Soundtrack

Giuliano's Summary:
 
"First watch the movie, and then enjoy revisiting the feelings of tango anytime you want. It tells the story of a woman who finds herself through tango, in Buenos Aires."

"La Revancha Del Tango"

Gotan Project

Giuliano's Summary: 
 
"This is a must. You can find “Santa Maria (Del Buen Ayre)”, the song interpreted by Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez, in Shall we Dance. It’s passionate and modern tango music."
