«Bajofondo Tango Club - Bajofondo Tango Club»



The AvaxHome Neo-Tango Album Avalanche today continues with a pair of remarkable recordings by an Argentine/Uruguayan collective of musicians, DJ's and visual artists, who call themselves Bajofondo Tango Club, which in good English would mean as much as Underground Tango Club.

Bajofondo Tango Club was put together by Latin Rock pioneer Gustavo Santaolalla, one of the leading producers in latin music today. Earlier his Surco label has released albums by the likes of Juanes and Orishas, as well as the soundtracks for the movies Amores Perros, Café Tacuba and 21 Grams, that were not just produced, but also composed by Santaolalla.

With his Bajofondo Tango Club collective he created an array of compositions geared towards the fusion of tango with a pletora of electronic styles and techniques, like dub, house, drum&bass, etc.

And by doing so, the group quickly started to cause a stir - first in Argentina's underground, but soon also in the world at large. Instrumental to that global appeal has undoubtedly been the release of their 2002 debut album, simply called Bajofondo Tango Club, and already certified platinum in Argentina soon after its release.

No wonder then, that during the course of 2003 it not only carried away the prestigious Premio Gardel as Best Electronica Album, but also a Latin Grammy as Best Pop Instrumental Album.

After sold-out performances in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, the collective was invited to tour Europe in July 2004 where it managed to instill profound impressions with performances across eastern Europe, in Spain, in London, England and at the famous Roskilde Festival in Denmark. What began as a music recording project had successfully manage to transform itself into a quite amazing touring group of artists, musicians, and DJ's.

For the concept of Bajofondo Tango Club, Santaolalla leaned rather heavily on musical ideas developed by other, comparable collectives already on the scene, such as the Mexican Nortec Collective and the French/Argentinian Gotan Project (watch out for the Gotan albums here at AvaxHome later this week!). Santaolalla's version eventually turned out as an eclectic mix of French House, Argentinean Tango, Trip Hop, Drum&Bass and Chill-Out music.

The combination has proven itself as an exciting new direction in Latin electronic music for an international audience, although honesty forces to say that maybe it has more freshened the dance club sound than it did freshen tango.

Less traditionally minded dancers consider all of the tracks suitable for dancing Argentine tango, but 'En Mi/Soledad' stands out as having the strongest tango sound, while 'Naranjo en Flor' is a good second in that respect. With the other pieces, many a tango dancer may find the dance-club layers too dominant, too strong.

This AvaxHome pub presents you with Bajofondo's debut album. The next one will bring you their 2004 (and so far latest) album Supervielle.
