12. Dedicated to my friend from childhood


Argentine tango is one of the “world music” genres which is dominated by one name on the international market: Astor Piazzolla. However, since the 1980’s one of the most important vanguardists of the tango nuevo has been the composer and bandoneon player Dino Saluzzi who has continued to developing the genre mixing with jazz and chamber music. On Cité de la Musique we find Dino in a very intimate setting with himself on bandoneon, his son José M. Saluzzi on acoustic guitar and the American Marc Johnson on bass. The album closes with a beautiful Coral para mi Pequeño y Lejano Pueblo (choral for my little and distant village). Johnson and José Saluzzi both deliver very subtle but emotionally powerful solo over Dino’s bandoneon which also plays the perfect intro and outro melodies. Perfect music to smooth your mind.
