Just got this from Milan Records. The download at Amazon.com is $1.99 for all 50 songs - a very good deal. The special started last night (Thursday). The album does not contain much dance music, but it's a good place for those who need to build a tango collection.
Carlos "The Voice" Gardel is the Elvis of Tango. His rich voice popularized tango all over the world until his death in 1935. Every tanguero should have him in their music collection. Astor Piazzolla is another profound influence in tango, as well and is another "must have". Although Piazzolla is not considered to be dance music and is not played at the milongas in Buenos Aires, his pieces have been quite popular with the nuevo crowd. After today, prices goes back to $5.99. This is a special partnership with Amazon.com. If we show them our support, it will encourage Amazon to support more tango. Then, email Stefan and ask for dance classics. :-) I do not have any financial interests in this event.

You can download the entire bundle for $1.99 here: http://www.amazon.com/50-Essential-Tangos/dp/B002KWHAOU/ The bundle includes a comprehensive collection of Argentine Tango beginning with the mythical years of Carlos Gardel and evolving to the rebirth of “Nuevo Tango” with Astor Piazzolla. It continues on to classic post World War II compositions revisited by the Tango virtuosos of the last quarter of the 20th Century such as Richard Galliano and Nestor Marconi. It also includes Roberto Goyeneche, the unmistakable voice behind Piazzolla’s "Vuelvo Al Sur", Susana Rinaldi and many others. Enjoy the Tango!
