Artango - Tango aus Paris mit Klavier und Bandoneon

Na mal schaun, ob ich das hier so richtig einsortiert habe:

Entdeckt hab ich dieses Duo bei einer Lesung von Lutz Görner, ich glaub das Thema war Joachim Ringelnatz ...

Der Text aus dem Büchlein hilft vielleicht die Musik etwas einzuordnen
(Die tippfehler sind von mir):

"The tango irrestibly evokes the athmosphere of Buenos Aires, its underworld, its smoky bars ..., and although we have not sought to avoid these cultural references, they are only a part of the basis of our compositions. We are not from Argentina; for us this music is neither the representation of a myth, nor a social phenomenon, and therefore we preferred to turn our attention to its musical "form" in the classical sense of the term, rather than making an ethno-sociological study of the tango.

In 1991, when we decided to form our piano/bandoneon duo ARTANGO, we wished to work on the different rhythmic and harmonic components of the tango:

On the one hand the omnipresence of a violent syncopated rhythmic element, creating the illusion of an intangible beat, which we have tried incessantly to deconstruct, and on the other hand a deep.coloured harmonic element which we have purposely made confusing by multiplying the tonalities and the chromatics.

These musical principles have been at the root of our common procedure. In following our research in the different areas of composition and performance, we have constructed on the foundations of our culture a "tango" which belongs to us, in a way a reinvented issue.

The pieces which appear on this first album are representative of our present musical universe, which extends from the agressive tango ind "Vague" or "Troubles" to the polytonal effects in Cadences including the play on rhythm (Saint-Cere I) and aking a light-hearted look at the traditional tango (Saint-Cere II) and the ballad (Amanini).
