“For Argentina and Uruguay (the countries united -and separated- by the Río de la Plata), these are times of electricity and tango. Lots of tango. And I don’t mean tourist tango, I mean real tango, the one that’s part of the rioplatense blood system, the one that makes us melancholic, nostalgic or plain sad. The tango that makes us want to dance, laugh and make love. The treasure box for memories too hurtful to remember, too sweet to forget.

Bajofondo Tango Club ranks amongst the most representative rioplatense recordings ever. Producers, musicians, and singers … Artists from both fields united in a unique blend of tradition, experimentation and surprise.

This is a trip to the bajofondo/underworld, a chance to chill in the cadencias and manic breathing of the bandoneón, a glimpse of life in el Sur: An intoxicating, south-of-the-south land of sentimiento, pleasure and pain.

BfTC is a sonic landscape of life in a perennial state of unpredictability, sadness, anger and love.

Bajofondo Tango Club is drama you can dance to.”


Enrique Lopetegui of “This Week in Music,”
Miami New Times


Update (2005-10-11): I just saw it featured in a Kahlua White Russian commercial. Oh, that Eric Willis ;-) What is he watching, lately?
