Looking for dramatic tango songs

Posted by pdn81

I'm currently trying to expand my tango music collection, and I'm really looking for DRAMATIC tango songs that go well with ballroom tango (not Argentine.)

I've read one of the most recent forums about tango music, but they're too soft or the instrumentation is too inconsistent (the tango tracks from Moulin Rouge or Chicago doesn't work for me either.)

Can anyone out there help me out?

Try dancevision.com. You can listen to clips from their dance music CDs. There are a few all tango CDs, but there are also tangos on the smooth and standard albums.

If you can find it, listen to "Guitar Tango" by the Shadows.

Unfortunately iTunes US store only has the version from "The Final Tour" album, which is not as good as the original (from around 1962) or the version they re-recorded for the "At Their Very Best" album.

For me this is the best ballroom tango ever recorded.

I really like Libertango and the ballroom version of La Cumparsita (sp?)
