Altertango: Radio <strong>Tango</strong> An EP is a good way to test listeners´ reactions, particularly when the musicians of Altertango. Elbi Olalla (piano), Pablo Conalbi (drums), Gerardo Lucero (double-bass) and Ezequiel Acosta: (bandoneon) state that after five albums, they tried to redefined and reconfigure themselves into an instrumental format. The first song of this six track EP is the collectively written Radiotango. Syncopated double bass and drums start preparing the timid appearance of bandoneon and piano with their fine melody lines, and culminate in accentuated jazzy improvisations. This song is convincing at the first hearing. Madrugón, written by Mariano Gonzalez Calo, is a bit different. It also has its slow and silent parts which contrast with the more rapid and confusing parts. The dynamic development might be a challenge for the dancer, but will please the listeners. The other songs also have their moments, particularly the accentuated improvisational parts in Y la Quería, or the grooving drums dominated Altermalambo, or the wonderful milonga Murga Sísmica which spreads a contagious happiness. For me, Las Palabras by Edgardo Gonzalez is one of their really strong songs. It breaks with the listeners´ expectations. Starting with arpeggiated E-guitar pattern, the piano sets its marks and the bandoneon introduces a very moody melody. Later on, this is contrasted by heavy, distorted, rock guitar lines played by guest musician Martin Sanchez. This is what modern tango music could be and is offered by this alternative tango ensemble from Argentina. Surprise the listeners instead of playing variations of the ever-same bandoneon patterns. If he were added to the band, Altertango could be truly exceptional. Overall Scoring **** Dancer´s pleasure > Listener´s pleasure Duration: 22 min.
