Retratos – New album out now!

I am thrilled to announce the release of my latest album, and I can’t wait for you to hear it. This album is a result of months of hard work, passion, and creativity, and I am incredibly proud of the outcome.

“RETRATOS” was recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in February 2024 in collaboration with some of the best talents in tango.

Retratos _ Camilo Cordoba

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.

The Edge of Tango

Astor Piazzolla and Eduardo Rovira are commonly portrayed as the two pioneering pioneers of “tango nuevo” and it is often debated who was the first to modernize tango. The first important impetus to the development of modern tango was made by Piazzolla in 1955 with the Octeto Buenos Aires. The following year, Rovira joined the Octeto La Plata.


While nothing definitive has emerged from that debate, the unanswered question was the perfect starting point
for “The Edge of Tango”.

This recording is based on the recovery of Octeto Buenos Aires scores, which were burned by Piazzolla himself, as well as the scores of the Octeto La Plata, which were partially lost during a flood.

Here, the music of both octets has been placed next to one
another for the first time.

With these ensembles, the two protagonists explored the boundaries (“the edge”) of  tango for the first time.
