REVIEW:
“This is a great album– innovative and yet respectful of traditional tango as well. It certainly merits the awards and recognition it received. There’re wonderful ideas from pianist Horacio Larumbe too. She’s one of the best singers in the world today — & always interested in exploring new ideas and contexts for tango and finding the seam where tango, jazz and forward looking traditional song/music meet.” — Ed Goodstein, CD Baby
