Tango has always been part of our repertoire: like 16 years ago we created our own version of the tango classic Volver by Carlos Gardel. It was a nice arrangement with guitar, accordion and contrabass trying to imitate a tango orchestra, while a sax filled in Gardel’s vocals. But the result was not really Argentinean tango, it sounded European, with a touch of Flamenco, a little Italianitá and inspired by the jazz of the 60s that we all worshipped. Anyway, it sounded like us and not like Argentina.
On our website it said: “Quadro Nuevo is the European answer to the Argentinean tango!” But then we chose to really put ourselves to the test. This was in January 2014, midsummer in the Argentinean capital and 40 degrees in the shade. We moved into an old mansion in the Boedo district. Everyone had warned us that this metropolis, with its 13 million inhabitants, had its dangers. But we only met friendly, helpful and fascinating people; many of them! Our hotel El Cielo was situated in the buzzing Avenida Independencia, with a bakery just around the corner where we had breakfast every day. The building featured a small ballroom with high, stucco ceilings, a battered parquet floor and squeaking ventilators. There we practiced everyday in the searing midday heat. At night we swarmed out, plunging deep into the tango scene. We jammed with local musicians, played in the legendary tango club Los Laureles that opened its door 120 years ago, met famous tangueros and poets and waxed lyrical until dawn, drunk on full-bodied wine and tango, the lifeblood of Buenos Aires. It was there that we were infected with tango – for this album! Not every song originated in Buenos Aires. Some we had written before. Others came to life after our return, inspired by our experiences in Argentina. We also brought home some treasures, like Gallo Ciego, which the guitarists Felipe and Hugo played when they visited us in our ballroom. Not every note may be born in Buenos Aires but in every note you will find Buenos Aires – the city, the people, their stories, their passion.
