Tango: Zero Hour by Astor Piazzolla Report Abuse
The greatest tango composer of the 20th Century, Piazzolla arrived at this recording late in his career and squeezed out a lifetime of playing the bandoneon to create this challenging, intricate album. The unmistakable sounds of Buenos Aires brought to a world stage.

La Revancha del Tango by Gotan Project Report Abuse
This album overturned all expectations about what tango can and can't be. It's infused with modern techno beats and world influences--grating to tango purists, but accessible to new generations.

Bajofondo Tango Club by Bajofondo Tango Club Report Abuse
This is another recent project that craftily fuses the tango with modern dance beats. A bit less experimental than Gotan project, impossible to resist.
