Albuquerque Journal, Tango Varon >>
The brief bio in the cd booklet says Sandra Luna performed in a tango bar at the ripe age of 11. But the now-mature Buenos Aires singer possesses the kind of clear, full-bodied voice you would prefer to hear in a concert hall.
Luna's tone on this CD (Times Square) is similar to Vikki Carr's. But Luna's hard-driving presentation is focused on tango's deeply nostalgic and romantic qualities.
A wondrous element is the mix of instruments, including the familiar bandoeneon, behind Luna. For example, Daniel Pucci's cello makes her voice radiate on the cut "Lejana Tierra Mia." The next cut, "Me Llaman Luna," departs from the tango, with its jazzy take on an Andrean rhythm with the singer backed by piano, bass and percussion.
A more gritty departure from the tango is the waltz "Que Nadie Sepa Mi Sufrir." | 05/14/04
