The repertoire on this CD places tangos from South America (the continent where the dance originated) next to and opposite tangos, which European composers started writing at the beginning of the twentieth century as soon as tango music reached Europe. The piano has been an important instrument in the tango ensemble from the very beginning and many greats from tango history such as Osvaldo Pugliese and Horacio Salgan were, apart from orchestra leader,
also a pianist.
