Eternal Aporia

Sometimes life takes strange paths with you, Ben Thomas would not have thought 15 years ago that his passion for tango dancing and the resulting interest in music would lead him to this tango project. Thomas lays down melodies and rhythms in his compositions on both the vibraphone and the bandoneon, his melodic companions on the violin and clarinet play along enchantingly, while the bass sets clear rhythmic accents. All the elements of tango are represented, a strong rhythmic structure, flowing tempo changes, melancholy, exuberant happiness, and Ben Thomas flies over his coherent compositions on both the vibraphone and the bandoneon. Nice Tango Nuevo album!
