Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recording in Milan, the legendary bandoneón master fully electrified his ensemble and firmly cemented his revolutionary Tango nuevo style for an international audience. 'Libertango' is a fiercely technical, wonderfully complex instrumental triumph, blending beautifully melancholic, profoundly bittersweet tango melodies with highly progressive, deeply atmospheric jazz fusion textures.
