| Bluesy electronic tango set. I would usually pic 2 or 3 to play depending on how long I wanted the tanda to be. | ||

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. | ||

| 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. |

| 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. | ||

| Dancers usually like this set. The first song is a tango-milonga where the rhythm keeps switching, but it is very pretty. | ||

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

This weeks alternative tanda focuses on electronic tango music. "Felino" is almost a classic of electronic tango and is often used at alternative milongas. I have put it with two songs by Otros Aires, one of the best modern tango bands. The second song mentions the greatest classic tango orchestras Pugliese, Troilo, d'Arienzo. The final song is a great cover of Pugliese's classic song, "La Yumba."
