Sexteto Canyengue - Tango Maxima

Review by Deb Keller

Tango Maxima, the latest album by Sexteto Canyengue, is a tour de force of traditional Argentine tango music. The album features 12 tracks, all imbued with the passion and intensity that characterizes this iconic genre.

From the opening notes of "La Cumparsita," the listener is transported to the streets of Buenos Aires, where tango was born in the late 19th century. The musicians of Sexteto Canyengue are virtuosos on their respective instruments, and their performances are both technically impressive and emotionally charged.

The album features a mix of classic tango compositions and original pieces by the members of the group. "La Yumba," "El Choclo," and "Adios Muchachos" are among the standout tracks, showcasing the group's ability to breathe new life into these timeless works.

Sexteto Canyengue is a group with a deep respect for tango's history and traditions, but they are not afraid to experiment and push the boundaries of the genre. "La Milonga de la Gente" and "El Vals de la Soledad" are examples of the group's willingness to explore new sounds and textures while staying true to the essence of tango.
