The historic, once-in-a-lifetime summit meeting of the legendary "maestros" of tango, reunited in Buenos Aires by producer-composer Gustavo Santaolallla

This double CD represents new recordings of the greatest songs in tango history along with a 50 page booklet

Café de los Maestros is the most ambitious project ever undertaken involving tango repertoire. Winning producer/composer Gustavo Santaolallla (Motorcycle Diaries & Brokeback Mountain) reunites the outstanding tango musicians of the 1940s & '50s in Buenos Aires (Aníbal Arias, Leopoldo Federico, Oscar Ferrari, Carlos García, Juan Carlos Godoy, Lágrima Ríos, & Horacio Salgán to name a few)

In this state-of-the-art recording Café de los Maestros displays a wide range of different tango styles: from traditional to milongas & creole waltzes; from purely orchestral numbers to vocal pieces - alll in the authentic style of the old maestros! An unprecedented homage to tango!
