With International Women’s Day this month, we decided to shine the spotlight on female artists in the tango world. Marisol Martinez with Romántica Milonguera starts a list that features Lidia Borda, Tita Merello, Nelly Omar and the fantiastic Adriana Varela.
Viva la mujer!

a tango mixtape – January 2019
Feed your tango soul with the January playlist.
A Lomuto double on this list with uplifting valses and milongas. Fresedo’s tender melodies soothe and Rodriguez’ awakens. D’Arienzo shows his soft side with a tanda featuring a new favourite for me “Delfino” and Pugliese reminds us of some rich and complex sounds.
I’m still loving the soft electro cortinas, this month’s come courtesy of BluntOne, Minthaze, Mop Mop, Limes and a very boogieable end track from Quantic and Flowering Inferno. Enjoy.
a tango mixtape – August 2017
Remember when Bank holidays were a time to join the Bloomsbury set for a spot of tandas and cortinas and chacerera?
Being back in London, there hasn’t been a milonga where someone hasn’t asked me if there will be more editions of abrazos in the future. Whilst there won’t be an abrazos on 28th August and officially we’ve been on a break, I wanted to say I’ve missed it too.
There may be a chance that the break is coming to end, but in the meanwhile here are some tunes to keep you dancing on Monday afternoon.
