MA presents their first "Tango" album on XRCD, "Será Una Noche", which is by no stretch of the imagination a normal Tango record. Conceived by Argentine percussionist, Santiago Vasquez and MA producer, Todd Garfinkle, "Será" was recorded in a small church about 150 kilometers from Buenos Aires, in June of 1998.
The thought process for the album began with Santiago hearing MA's "Luz Destino" (M039A), the Fado (traditional Portuguese song) album arranged in Baroque style by Ricardo Rocha, with Maria Ana Bobone (voice) and Joao Paulo (harpsichord). Santiago first thought to do something similar with Tango, using harpsichord, etc, but later developed his concept to be more contemporary improvisation oriented, but with a strong emphasis on Argentine folkloric elements as well. The results, with famous pop artist Pedro Aznar singing some of the most famous Tangos ever, is quite astounding!
Pedro Aznar, voz; Marcelo Moguilevsky, clarinetes y flautas; Gabriel Kirschenbaum, guitarra; Gabriel Rivano, bandoneon; Martin Kinnaccone, cello; Santiago Vazquez, percusion y tablas.
