starting tonight

Just got this from Milan Records. The download at Amazon.com is $1.99 for all 50 songs - a very good deal. The special started last night (Thursday). The album does not contain much dance music, but it's a good place for those who need to build a tango collection.

Carlos "The Voice" Gardel is the Elvis of Tango. His rich voice popularized tango all over the world until his death in 1935. Every tanguero should have him in their music collection.

Astor Piazzolla is another profound influence in tango, as well and is another "must have". Although Piazzolla is not considered to be dance music and is not played at the milongas in Buenos Aires, his pieces have been quite popular with the nuevo crowd.

After today, prices goes back to $5.99.

This is a special partnership with Amazon.com. If we show them our support, it will encourage Amazon to support more tango.

Then, email Stefan and ask for dance classics. :-)?
I do not have any financial interests in this event.

Thanks for the info, Trini!

As I am not familliar with MP3 downlaods at Amazon.com:
are those MP3s DRM-free or not?

In other words: could I copy those MP3 on my iPod, later move them somewhere else, and so on, without any hassle of internet activiation / re-verification.


If DRM-free this sounds ;-) like a good offer.

Thanks, Trini,

for your information. I just gave it a try down here in The Netherlands ... but no chance! ;-(


This is how it goes:

Amazon.com-Shop says:

> You have selected to purchase:
> 50 Essential Tangos by Various Artists
> (Amazon MP3 Purchases are limited to U.S. customers.)

Not a fair go for those outside the U.S. ... ;-(



Amazon.com-Shop also says:

> You must install the Amazon MP3 Downloader to purchase albums.
> * It automatically adds your music downloads to iTunes or Windows Media
> Player
> * It takes just a few clicks and less than 30 seconds to install

By that point I would have quit the whole purchase anyway:
Why should I install their downloader just to buy and listen to a MP3 file / a bunch of files?!
Why should I have to use iTunes or WindozeMediaPlayer - there's more software out there (and *free* software, *free* in a sense of interlectually free!)
This smells like DRM-cripled MP3-files ... *no*thanks*!



Amazon.com-Shop has even more to tell:

> If you would rather not install the Amazon MP3 Downloader, you can
> purchase individual songs without it.

Ah ha: if I go for the expensive version I do not have to use their downloader! Hmm ... ;-((


Now I just hit the 'cancel purchase' link!



Good idea of promotion for Amazon.com and the concept of download-purchasing music - this would have been my first time. But due to the above facts: nope. Chance missed, Amazon.com!

Happy weekend, e'body!
Christian

Trini, Astor Piazzolla is widely danced to, as well as in Milongas in
Buenos Aires. Most milongas in BsAS now are much more open in choices
to music and not as traditional as they used to be.

Thanks,Bettina

Bettina, Piazolla is never danced in the traditional milongas of Buenos
Aires. Never. Nor is Gardel or that Greek folksong so popular
elsewhere, Tango for Ephora.
But yes, the DJs of "alternative" milongas and practicas here play
modern music and non-tango music on occasion. But only the young and/or
foreign go there.

The milongueros would croak to hear "Libertango" played for them to
dance to!

There are so many milongas now in BA and there is no such thing as
just "Nuevo" - there are many cross overs now ad I know some DJ's
that play a variety of all kinds of music - things are very differet
now than a few years ago, I have lived here 2 years and hear what is
being played, sorry. BA is not just old milongueros any longer since
awhile, many of those cannot even come anymore to the milongas as they
are too old and sadly, no longer able to dance.
Just this last week two new milongas have opened. There is a large new
generation now in Tango that dances traditional as Alternative and
Dj's are providing that. Things are changing - even in Buenos Aires.
And what I love here things are not that black and white, it is much
more organic. There is also no such thing as "the young" or "the old
milongueros" go into many Milongas here and it is all mixed.

Bettina,

Do we live in the same city?
I've lived for 6 years here in Buenos Aires and dance and teach tango
with my partner, Ruben Aybar. We go to dance all the time at the
traditional milongas, which NEVER play "alternative" music. It is most
definitely not "all mixed!" Do you go to Region Leonesa, Lo de Celia,
La Ideal, El Beso, Maipu, Gricel, El Arranque, Sunderland, etc? (Ok,
Maipu does have the alternative milonga, La Marshal, on Weds.)

And it is true that the old milongueros sometimes do go to the "young"
milongas in order to dance with young women, but not to dance well.

Well, I bought it and for me, I DON'T see it as essential for
traditional dancers. The early stuff with Gardel is scratchy. The
Piazolla is from a live album. A lot of the other stuff has more of a
piano bar/jazz feeling to me. There is NOTHING in the collection that I
have ever heard at a traditional milonga here in Florida. (Whenever I
have heard a Piazolla tanda at a traditional milonga here in Florida, it
was a studio cut - NOT a live cut.)

Nuevo fans might find a few cuts they like.
