looking for alternative music?

If you love dancing tango to non-tango music, explore the tracks at Plastic Tango. The site was created by New York tanguero Alex Orzeck-Byrnes, who describes the music as:

"not tango in the musical sense. but rather music that one can dance to using (and expanding upon) the skillset and vocabulary of the tango tradition (not discluding cross-pollination by other dance genres or techniques). i prefer 'non-tango' to 'alternative tango' because 'alternative tango' implies to me an intention by the musicians to create with reference to tango--generally not the case. one can still dance 'tango' to music that is not 'tango' music, regardless of authorial intention."
