Double CD, Vol. 1 & 2
"For eleven years I worked with the Osvaldo's orchestra, my life was one with his and his style was a like a second skin - a skin that, like Color Tango, will always be a part of me..."
Roberto Álvarez
The history of this CD began with our tour of Italy, where, after 5 years work, we did more than 100 performances. Our Italian organizers, Marco Castellani and Mariachiara Michelli, showed a great deal of interest in "Escuela Decareana" and particularly for the work of that incomparable master Osvaldo Pugliese.
This is why we stuck to what we knew while we were preparing the "Nueva Compañia Tangueros" shows. It also lead us to search out the original version of the Tango: among the very first sounds to inspire dancing feet.
That's why we were inspired to work on the original arrangements of Osvaldo Pugliese's orchestra, interpreting them with our hearts, our souls and all our faculties.
On account of the enormously positive response that we got to during the first years of our work, we decided to record all the material. This recording is thus Color Tango's homage to all dancers.
With affection, The Color Tango Orchestra
