Ricardo Montaner presented “Tango”, his new studio album recorded in his native Argentina

Ricardo Montaner presented a new studio album, under the title of “Tango”. This album is a tribute to his childhood in Argentina and represents the promise that the artist made to his father, his grandfather and his public.

“It was natural, almost inevitable, to record a tango album, that’s why I decided to travel to the past to honor my roots, that’s why I produced this album”commented Montaner about his new album.

A project of this magnitude had to be carried out going to the roots and respecting the legacy of those who wrote the history of this genre, which is why the studio that Ricardo chose to record “Tango” is the same in which several of the figures in the history of this genre they recorded their most memorable albums: The ION Studio, located since 1956 in an old house in the Balvanera neighborhood, in the center of Buenos Aires.

In this emblematic place, Ricardo brought together a typical orchestra of twelve members made up of the most outstanding instrumentalists of the genre, who were directed by maestro Andrés Linetzky, who was also in charge of arranging the eleven songs on the album. The idea from the beginning was to search for the essence of tango.

“Tango” was recorded completely analog, using the same microphones with which some immortal pieces of the genre were recorded. With the set up of the room by Jorge “El Portugués” Da Silva, who at 87 years old has participated in countless sessions in that studio and under the careful quality control of Osvaldo Acedo, who recorded Goyeneche and Piazzolla, among others.

“Cuartito Azul”, “Nada”, “Nostalgias”, “Uno”, “El Día Que Me Quieras” and “La Última Copa”, are some of the unforgettable songs that are included in the album.

The official video for the first single “El Día Que Me Quieras”, which has already exceeded 34 million views on YouTube, was filmed by Marlene Montaner and Lautaro Espósito with production by Diego Tucci at the iconic “Café De Los Angelitos” in Buenos Aires , Argentina; place that since the late 1800’s is part of the history of tango.

Montaner expressed about his new album: “It is a project that represents a dream that I began to develop many years ago. This tango album is to fulfill a promise I made to my father, my grandfather and my childhood in Valentín Alsina, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I was born”.
