I know, this is a 2012 CD, but sometimes it takes time to get a new CD up to the tropical north. Listening to the songs, I was totally fascinated by the new sound of Lucio Arce who builds a bridge from traditional tango style to modern chanson, but you still can feel a little bit of the master Carlos Gardel in the background. It is mainly unplugged “singer songwriter” tango, but it feels good and it is really danceable.

You may also want to look at his old album “Tangos inesperados” from 2004:

Video of the most intriguing song, a traditional milonga (“Una fiesta del camacho”) and a totally fabulous video. If this one doesn´t get you to the dancefloor, then you have to get an appointment with the tango doctor :
