V.A. - Evita's Tango (1997) EAC Rip | FLAC (image & cue & log) | tracks: 19 | ~ 228 Mb | 54:19 | Scans Label: BMG | 5% recovery record | Genre: Tango argentino, vocal A rare CD released in 1997 and sponsored by Ericsson. There are a vast number of tango anthologies, many of them mediocre at best. This one is superior in all aspects. Assembled by Gabriel Soria of the National Tango Academy of Argentina, it evokes the time of the real Eva Peron, notorious and glamorous wife of the populist President Juan Peron. Enjoy. Leaning heavily on the works of Anibal Troilo, but including many other notable artists of the time, the real Argentine tango is found here. Even though the original recordings were made a half century ago, the production values of this CD are quite high and the sound quality is excellent. Fans of tango as sung in the 1940s will be delighted with this well-chosen compilation of mostly vocal classics, some of which are well-known and others which should be. Though Anibal Troilo's orchestra, arguably the top tango group of its time, is featured on nearly half of the pieces, he used many different singers so there is a lot of flavor here. My favorites here are Naranjo En Flor, Vida Mia, Uno, Sur, Paciencia, and Ventanita Florida. Such celebrated singers as Floreal Ruiz, Alberto Marino, Edmundo Rivero, Alberto Echague, Libertad Lamarque, and Nelly Omar are featured, offering a little something to everyone. If you are a fan of the old styles, you will love this treasure trove of classics as there is not a loser in the group. TRACKLIST 01. Naranjo En Flor 02. Patotero Sentimental 03. Gricel 04.
