Creative Voices - Cafe Buenos Aires

Creative Voices is a 18-strong, mixed-voice a cappella ensemble, conducted by Argentinian maestro Eduardo Mendelievich, dedicated to studying and performing rarely-performed musical repertoire, providing vibrant and innovative performances that introduce audiences to the healing and transformative properties of vocal music. "Café" is a treat, presenting Latin-flavored masterworks we've never had the pleasure of hearing before. Calling it "vocal tango music" they start with Castillo-Stampones' "El Ultimo Café," Mariano Mores' dramatic "Taquito Militar" and Cadicamo-Cobain's romantic "Niebla del Riachuelo," and closing with Astor Piazzolla's lovely 4-part "Angel" series ("Introduccion al Angel," "Milonga del Angel," "La Muerta del Angel" and "Resurreccion del Angel," these 14 songs form a striking, touching collection. Other favorites are Piazzolla's" "Calambre" and "Decarissimo," Jose Mores' sweet "Gricel" and Homero Esposito's romantic "Naranjo en Flor." Creative Voices is off to a strong, memorable start with "Café Buenos Aires!" 8419 CD 16.98
