David Lorcho - Killer Tango

Review by Obilom Marvin

David Lorcho's Killer Tango is an album that will leave you breathless. The Argentinean musician and composer has crafted a collection of songs that are both passionate and intense, capturing the essence of the tango in its purest form.

From the opening track, "La Cumparsita," Lorcho's mastery of the bandoneón (a type of accordion) is on full display, creating a sense of urgency and drama that is palpable. The album's title track, "Killer Tango," is equally impressive, with Lorcho's bandoneón weaving in and out of the driving rhythm section, creating a sense of danger and excitement.

Throughout the album, Lorcho is joined by a talented group of musicians, including pianist Juan Carlos Cuacci and guitarist Horacio Avilano. Together, they create a sound that is both traditional and modern, infusing the tango with elements of jazz and rock.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "El Choclo," a classic tango that Lorcho and his band turn into a frenzied, almost punk rock-like anthem. It's a bold move, but one that pays off, showcasing Lorcho's willingness to take risks and push the boundaries of the tango.

Summary by Obilom Marvin

Killer Tango is a must-listen for anyone who loves the tango, or anyone looking for an album that is both passionate and innovative. Lorcho is a true master of his craft, and this album is a testament to his talent and creativity.
