NEW ALBUM “RETRATOS”
The repertoire of this new album ‘Retratos’ features Camilo Córdoba’s own arrangements of works by Pugliese, Rovira, Piazzolla, among others. This new repertoire reinterprets the music from the period when the first significant changes in tango occurred, namely, the late 1940s and early 1950s.
In this music, the guitar is once again recognized as an essential instrument for tango ensembles, a role that had been relegated in such instrumental formations since the 1920s, and it draws a line to the current and contemporary repertoire.
This repertoire highlights the evolution of the genre and combines the musical influence of the 1950s with today’s tango.
