Our Newest CD: Siete Tandas

Available Now at CDBaby.com!

Siete Tandas is meant first and foremost for dancing. It is an interpretation of an idealized evening of tango dancing. It starts early (11PM or so) with tandas of traditional, highly rhythmic Argentine tangos and gets more and more lush and passionate as the night progresses. To keep things from getting too hot, it breaks up the evening with a tanda of .Vals. (Argentine Waltzes) and .Milongas. (an Argentine 2-step). But as the night goes on, the temperature continues to rise and Mandragora takes the dancers into more and more sensual and exotic soundscapes. In the small hours of the morning, Mandragora plays a tanda of heart-achingly beautiful slow dances by Astor Piazzolla. The dancers who are left on the nearly empty floor can enjoy an almost erotic interplay of sound and motion before they go their separate ways. Or not.

Here are several tracks that you can download for your listening pleasure. You can download them in a 46 MB RAR (7TandasSamples.rar) or ZIP (7TandasSamples.zip) file. You can also download them individually:

From the Tango Los Mareados (Track 11):

       Hoy vas a entrar en el pasado de mi vida...
       Tres cosas lleva mi alma herida: ¡Amor. Pesar. Dolor.!

       Today you are going to enter the past of my life.
       Three things are carried by my wounded heart: Love. Despair. Pain!
