Alternative Tanda 7: Astor Piazzolla

This weeks alternative tango is a collection of songs by Astor Piazzolla. What amazes me about Piazzolla is how he can put so many emotions into the same piece of music.

This version of "Libertango" is a remix by Hi Perspective and is nice because it has a bit slower and has more of a beat than other versions. The only negative to it is that it has a very fast fade out at the end of the song.

"Cite Tango" is so light and playful and then it becomes soft and romantic. It feels like being at an amusement park. You are having fun all day, but then it gets late and you start to get tired. You realize that the fun is over and that you must go home.

This version of "Tanguedia III" is from Tango Zero Hour, one of my favorite Piazzolla albums. This song is very aggressive, almost violent. You have to be bold and precise dancing to it. I also like to use lots of changes of directions (alterations). I have edited the song to remove the 22 second intro.

If you wanted to keep this tanda under 10 minutes, you could use Gotan Projects edit of "Cite Tango" which is 3.56 and then start Tanguedia III at the 1.34 mark.

Listen to this tanda
Tango	Tango Jointz
Percanta	Otros Aires
Allerdings	Otros Aires

Bluesy electronic tango set. I would usually pic 2 or 3 to play depending on how long I wanted the tanda to be.
Blues de la Parcas	Demoliendo Tangos	Carne Argenta
Tango Cancion	Gotan Project	Lunatico
Amor Porteno	Gotan Project	Lunatico
Hoy	Bajofondo Tango Club	Mar Dulce
Praga	Demoliendo Tangos	Carne Argenta

Listen to this tanda I love all of these songs and the are very upbeat.
Borges y Paraguay	Bajofondo Tango Club	Mar Dulce
Pa' Bailar	Bajofondo Tango Club	Mar Dulce
La Gloria	Gotan Project	Tango 3.0

This is a downtempo set, but the songs are very interesting. Listen to this tanda
Centroja (edited to end at 3.20)	Bajofondo Tango Club	Supervielle
Forma	Bajofondo Tango Club	Supervielle
Bruma	Moviola	Supervielle

Listen to a version of this tanda These songs are from a CD of remixed Carlos Gardel songs. The idea sounds a bit cheesy, but the songs are very well done.
Por Una Cabeza (edited to start at .17)	Metrotango	Gardel Remixed
Bandoneon Arrabalero	Metrotango	Gardel Remixed
Caminito	Metrotango	Gardel Remixed

Listen to this tanda Interesting songs.. a little bluesy... The last one is a technically a milonga, but it is so slow that it is possible to dance tango to it. It is also has Hugo Diaz playing harmonica mixed into it.
Tango d'Amor	Tango Jointz	Palermo Nuevo
Vuelvo Al Sur	Tango Jointz	Palermo Nuevo
Tango, Que Misterio	Tango Jointz	Palermo Nuevo

Listen to this Tanda I like "Reflejo de Luna" a lot, but it is hard to fit into a tanda. I think this one works pretty well.
Luna	Alexkid
Reflejo de Luna	Alacran
Libertango	Bond

If you love to dance slowly, then you will love this set. This mix of Buenos Aires is still one of my favorite songs to dance to.
Buenos Aires (Plush Mix)	Steve Arguelies Remixes Piazzolla
Villurca	Yira	Roots of Electronic Tango (Downtempo)
Plano Secuencia	Carlos Libedinsky	Narcotango

Listen to this tanda As with many alternative tangos, these are technically milongas, but they are slow enough to dance tango to if you like. I find these types of songs a little annoying, because you keep trying to decide whether to dance tango or milonga.
Sentimientos	Jaime Wilensky	Tango Project Vol. 2: New Tango
Una Llamada	Tanghetto	Emigrante
En Mi Soledad	Bajofondo Tango Club	Bajofondo Tango Club
Luna (edited)	Alexkid

Thes are all tango cover songs by Tanghetto. They all have very heavy beats and switch rhythms a decent amount. Advanced dancers that like alternative music can have lots of fun with them. Beginner dancers will struggle and often run around way too fast to them.
Sweet Dreams	Tanghetto	El Miedo a la Libertad
Enjoy, The Silence	Tanghetto	Buenos Aires Remixed
Blue Monday	Tanghetto	Buenos Aires Remixed

Listen to this tanda. Downtempo set which I have had lots of good feedback about.
Erase una Vez	Gotan Project	Gotan Project 3.0
El Duelo	Tanghetto	Hybrid Tango
Calles de Piedra	Tanghetto	Hybrid Tango

Dancers usually like this set. The first song is a tango-milonga where the rhythm keeps switching, but it is very pretty.
Gente Que Sí (edited to end at 4.15)	Carlos Libedinsky	Narcotango 2
Esa	Carlos Libedinsky	Narcotango 2
Dos	Carlos Libedinsky	Narcotango 2

Classic electronic tango set.
Vi Luz y Subí	Carlos Libedinsky	Narcotango
Otra Luna	Carlos Libedinsky	Narcotango
Plano Secuencia	Carlos Libedinsky	Narcotango

Once again, these are mostly milongas, but you can also dance tango to them. These are more Rap / Hip-Hop inspired tangos.

Alternative Tanda 6: Electronic (Bajofondo Tango Club)

This weeks alternative tanda is an electronic tango set by Bajofondo Tango Club and Gotan Project. These are 3 very fun tangos to dance to. One suggestion for dancers would be to take it slow and calm when dancing to these songs. I often see people running around way too fast, especially to "Pa' Bailar."

Tanda of the Week 6 (Francisco Canaro) 2012-04-16

This weeks tanda is an upbeat collection of songs by Francisco Canaro. This is a mixed set, in that two are instrumentals and two are with Roberto Maida singing. All the songs are playful and fun and have an older Guardia Vieja feel.

Alternative Tanda 5: Pop Vals

This weeks alternative tanda focuses on pop waltzes (vals). "Hijo de la Luna" is a classic alternative tango song and has a great waltz rhythm for dancing. Sting's "Until" is one of my favorite waltzes to dance to. It is such a beautiful song and has a classic waltz rhythm. "Will You Remember" is a sweet and pretty waltz. Also, a note for DJs, I have trimmed the intro off of "Will You Remember" so that it does not take so long to get to the waltz rhythm.

I would normally leave "Smells Like Teen Spirit" out.. unless I have already used "Cuore Sacro" in another tanda.
Nothing Else Matters	Apolyptica
Smells Like Teen Spirit	Mandragora Tango Orchestra
Cuore Sacro	Andrea Guerra
Assassin's Tango	John Powell (Mr & Mrs Smith Soundtrack)

Temptation	Tom Waits
Tango Til They're Sore	Tom Waits

Stormy Monday Blues	Bobby "Blue" Bland
3 O'Clock in the Morning Blues	Ike & Tina Turner
The Thrill is Gone	B.B. King

Very low energy and a bit depressing.. but good for dancing.
Mad World (Alternative Version)	Michael Andrews
My Life	Dido
Love Came Here	Lhasa de Sela

Another very low energy tanda, but can follow it with a waltz or milonga. Any of these songs can bee put together for a tanda.
9 Crimes	Damien Rice
Hallelujah	K.D. Lang
Smells Like Teen Spirit	Tori Amos
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction	Cat Power
Everybody Hurts	R.E.M.

Fever	Elvis Presley
Tango Til They're Sore	Holly Cole
Temptation	Diana Krall

Kind of a jazz/swing/blues set. I would use the first 3, unless I had already used "Feeling Good," in which case I would use one of the last two.
It's A Man's World	Patricia Kaas
Temptation	Diana Krall
Feeling Good	Michael Buble
I Put A Spell On You	Nina Simone
Blue Angel	Squirrel Nut Zippers

Not my favorite set, but for a strickly long alternative milonga, I might play it.
Slippery Sidewalks	Bajofondo Tango Club with Nelly Furtado
Bust Your Windows	Jazmine Sullivan
Siempre Me Quedara (short)	Bebe

This is a set with the feel of Argentine Folk music. I would normally leave the last one off. The middle two are technically milongas, but I think the classic folk music feel is what ties it all together.
Luna	Mercedes Sosa
Lo Hermoso Que Fue	Pedro Aznar
El Violin de Becho	Alfredo Zitarosa
La Cumparsita	Silvana DeLuigi

Both of these songs are very long, so I would probably just play the two of them and then go to something else.
Fairly Right	Bajofondo Tango Club with Elvis Costello
I Want You	Elvis Costello

Listen to this tanda
Hearts A Mess	Gotye
Somebody That I Used to Know	Gotye
Boy with a Coin	Iron & Wine

Boy with a Coin	Iron & Wine
Cornflake Girl	Tori Amos
Tango in Harlem	Touch and Go
White Lilies	Peder

Black Coffee	St. Germaine
Fever	Peggy Lee
Petite Fleur	Chris Barber

This tanda has a middle eastern feel. These are pretty popular with Alternative DJs, but are not my cup-o-tea.
Chaloupée	René Aubry
Time 4 Time	Nigel Kennedy, Kroke
Meger	Candan Ercetin
Usual Happiness	Kroke
