VAYO – “Tango Legends” Pantaleón, 2006 TANGO – These (mostly) vocal renditions of classic tango melodies are "over the top," but in a good way. Tango has to be over the top: it's all about total exposure – hold anything back, and the music is diminished. Vayo seizes these songs with both hands and squeezes the emotion from them, making them as fresh and vibrant as they must have sounded 60 years ago. It won’t suit everybody, but I love it. Fo’s Picks: 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 17 1. 2:46 - deliberate tempo, romantic melody, forceful vocal 2. 3:54 – happy instrumental w/delicate guitar & bandoneon 3. 2:44 – flowing, with dramatic vocals, nearly a sob 4. 4:13 – slow, heavy heartbreaker: I need a drink. 5. 3:04 – slow intro, then a lively instrumental 6. 2:25 – breezy waltz with an Italian touch 7. 2:09 – medium tempo, more aggressive delivery 8. 3:11 – another excellent instrumental: finely nuanced 9. 2:03 – airy wrapping with a tender center 10. 3:25 – a good showcase for Vayo’s voice, lots of changes 11. 1:19 – very short but upbeat instrumental 12. 2:39 – relaxed & romantic, bittersweet sound 13. 2:18 – striding instrumental w/a sweet guitar solo 14. 3:27 – heart on the sleeve vocals, sweet guitar, big chorus 15. 2:38 – nice waltzing rhythm sweeps vocals along 16. 2:53 – cute, bouncy instrumental 17. 4:30 – long intro, strong vocal with the band locked in 18. 2:53 – instrumental with folksy flair 19. 3:05 – slow, tender vocal, the tune rises & falls [ Fo ] 6-Nov-06 | ||
