Pop Goes Ballroom – Tango

Product Description

Pop Goes Ballroom – Tango places familiar pop songs beside selections with a more explicit tango identity. Santa Maria (Del Buen Ayre), Te Aviso, Te Anuncio (Tango) and I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango) sit within a programme that also includes Money, Money, Money, Venus and Viva La Vida. This contrast in repertoire is the album's main attraction: it offers dancers more than one kind of song to consider for a tango session.

Stage and screen titles add another dimension. Goldfinger is identified with James Bond in the track list, while The Phantom of the Opera appears later in the sequence. Those choices sit alongside Dance With Me, My Love Is a Tango and Can't Take My Eyes Off You. The collection may appeal to dancers who enjoy selecting music for its recognisable theme or associations, and to teachers seeking alternatives when introducing a different musical setting for tango work.

The programme contains 18 vocal recordings, rather than one continuous mix. Venus is a compact 2:18, while Santa Maria (Del Buen Ayre) runs 5:58, giving a useful range of lengths for individual listening and practice. Every selection and documented timing appears below, so the repertoire can be compared at a glance before building a playlist around particular songs.
