Tango, Mon Amour on CD

What is Tango? It is joy, sadness, humor, passion or intimacy. Above everything, it is music with a capital M. It is music of the immigrant. Music which has undergone many transformations, beginning with it's roots in Angola, which was later influenced by the Italian canzonetta, the klezmer, the French chanson, and Jazz. In the early 20th century, it seduced Europe after it's arrival in Paris. Tango speaks of the honest, sometimes rough and simple lives of the people. Tango is the soundtrack of their lives. Maria Martinova fell under the spell of Tango whilst a student and has been an advocate of this music for many years. Her album includes music not just by Piazzolla, but a selection of other composers too. This is a personal and passionate album that will seduce the listener in the way only Tango can.
