Product Description
Twenty-six songs illustrate the growth and diversity of tango cancion, from its Argentine roots to its dissemination throughout Europe and into the Middle East and beyond. These songs are represented both in print - with melody lines, chord boxes and lyrics in their original language and in English - and through classic recordings by the original artists on the accompanying CD. Tango Voices is not only the perfect introduction to one of World Music’s most expressive and seductive genres, but also a valuable resource for all existing tango lovers.

The music is arranged for voice and guitar with each individual pieces being informatively annotated and fully illustrated August 15, 2008
From its inception in the barrios of Argentina, the Tango has proven one of the most enduringly popular dances in the world. "Tango Voices: Songs From The Soul Of Buenos Aires & Beyond" is a remarkable and memorable compendium of celebrated tangos from around the world. Knowledgeably compiled and deftly edited by Donald Cohen, the music is arranged for voice and guitar with each individual pieces being informatively annotated and fully illustrated with complete translations from their languages of origin into English. "Tango Voices" also includes a CD featuring performances by original artists of twenty-six tangos. A superbly organized and presented showcase of the tango, "Tango Voices" is highly recommended for personal, professional, academic, and community library Music & Dance reference collections.
Like finding a perfect Tango dance partner January 15, 2008
Well, maybe a perfect dance partner is better...
This publication is a Gem! So much information packed between it's covers.. and on top of all that.. a CD with all the wonderful pieces described in the book.
Donald Cohen, the multi-talented man who compiled and edited this book, fullfilled exactly what he intended.. "This book was written primarily for those who know little about Tango, and for those who know much about the dance, but little about the music or songs to which it is performed".
I've had this book only 2 weeks,, and I'm on the third reading..and have listened to the 26 pieces of music at least 5 times..
