TangoMundo CD Launch “Piazzolla Unleashed: Reclaiming the Edge”

About

Raw, urban, and unapologetic, Piazzolla Unleashed: Reclaiming the Edge dives headfirst into the street-smart soundworld of Astor Piazzolla; the outlaw genius who tore tango apart and rebuilt it with jazz fire, rock attitude, and Bach-level craft. This is Buenos Aires after dark: gritty, volatile, and electrically alive. TangoMundo brings to the stage Piazzolla repertoire rarely heard internationally, drawing from across his restless, rule-breaking career. From the midnight heartbeat of Buenos Aires Hora Cero to the smoky elegance of S’il Vous Plaît from his Paris years, and the hard-edged cool of Reunión Cumbre from his legendary collaboration with Gerry Mulligan, this program goes well beyond the greatest hits. TangoMundo also play intimate, lesser-known gems such as Tanti Anni Prima and songs such as Jacinto Chiclana and Los Pájaros Perdidos, revealing the intense poetry at the heart of Piazzolla’s music. The program also unleashes works from Piazzolla’s later Electronic Octet and Nonet periods alongside iconic pieces like Libertango and Oblivion; music driven by a fierce appetite
