Narcotango regards themselves as a »part of the
contemporary urban sound track« (Carlos Libedinsky) and clearly break
away from trends - as a »backslash« of neotango - to initiate the move
away from contemporary music styles. Basic approaches of this
development could be found in the current releases of Gotan Project and
Otto Aires (»Retro-Avantgarde«).
E-bass, drums, e-guitar and sound
samples condense into a compact jazz-rock rhythm section. Piano /
keyboard, e-guitar and bandoneon make a deep impact to various solo
improvisations and set tango-specific accents to the tracks. Narcotango
commonly resorts to their own arrangements without using Tango
standards.
Altogether, the style developed by Narcotango is highly
reminiscent of fusion-jazz - not least by the use of guitar-riffs and
e-bass. It must be said that the e-guitar created a musical identity for
this CD anyway and it´s together responsible for its neotango-touch
with keyboard, drums and sampler.
Limanueva presents itself
unpretentious and waived the usual pathos and mannerism of tango-related
projects in favor of intensity, enthusiasm, inclusion of jazz elements
and thematic homogeneity.Melancholic passages vary with punchy beats and
provide a moving impression, the basis for danceability of 90% of the
CD-titles. Only the experimental »Datos de Vuelta» steps out of this
frame.
The CD runs through a continuous development process from more
pleasing titles like Mistela without an outstanding influence of
electric elements and clearly jazz-oriented pieces as Ronda to the free
jazz-inspired Datos de Vuelta.
Mistela creates a
gentle introduction and reflects the listening patterns of the tango
dancers by a very danceable tango with slow, melancholy mood.
Supongamos is a hymnal vocal track with significant Tango-references and a higher tempo, slightly reminiscent of »Narcotango 2«.
In contrast Incluso presents itself as a soul mates of Mistela with a melancholy, slow tango mixed with subtle electro facets.
Fast-paced and fluid passages grounded by some bandoneon sequences dominate in Lado C and mark the shift to more neotango facets.
Como Si sets the tune for CD: Floating down beat with harmonious integration of tango and jazz influences.
The serene Limanueva is a compact piece with a clear, continuous hookline and very jazzy guitar sequences.
In many parts Cartas is a dreamy piece stimulated by rock-riffs and tempo-variations in the centre part.
According to the musical scheme of the Rondo the high-speed Ronda
is divided into two corner pieces with tango standards and a long
middle section with passages with driving solo improvisations of
bandoneon, e-guitar and keyboard.
If you are looking for a
suitable companion for the way home after a night danced milonga, you´ll
find it in the melancholic slow Vuelta a Casa.
The spherical Datos de Vuelta
does without clear Tango-references but with large ranges of free
improvisation. The stylistic proximity to free jazz is reminiscent of
the experimental repertoire of Tango Crash.
At the same time Datos de Vuelta is the conclusion of the CD and initial point for an open development perspective of neotango.
