"Reinventango" is the name of the eighth and brand new album by Tanghetto, an ambitious electronic tango project that has also been nominated for the Gardel Awards.

Led by Max Masri, This project also means the first nomination of an artistic project linked to the LGBTQ + collective.

With more than two years of production and hard work, "Reinventango" was finished recording in the middle of the pandemic, in May 2020. Throughout its twelve songs, the plaque is the reflection of a deconstruction process that is part of the very essence of Tanghetto.

As expressed from the group, the album is inspired by the trans community, in the non-binary, cross-dressing, the freedom and courage to reinvent yourself, without measuring the limits imposed by the prejudice of others.

In this process of deconstruction of tango, today the band is nominated in the category of Best Orchestra and / or Group Tango and / or Instrumental Album at the Gardel Awards 2021.

Under the production of Masri (who also takes care of the synthesizers and electronics), the group is also made up of Joaquín Benítez (bandoneón), Aldo Di Paolo (piano), Diego Velazquez (guitar and bass), Leandro Ragusa (bandoneón), Daniel Corrado (drums), Antonio Boyadjian (piano), Octavio Bianchi (fiddle), Regina Manfreddi , Ángel Maher and Esteban Pereyra (chelo).

In Masri's words, this is “a transgender album and it is a tango album. I always felt Tanghetto as a non-binary project, a tango transvestite, the one that was so rare that they left it aside in the pan of record stores ".

Within that context, in the early days, “Mistrust was generated in some conservative tango media: 'They are a fashion', they repeated to us. And here we are, seventeen years later ".

About the recording process, Masri said that “it was very difficult to record in pandemic and at a distance, especially when it was necessary to direct or agree on a take or arrangement. The process had to reinvent itself ”and added: "We were very motivated since crises often awaken creativity and this album managed to keep us active in a very difficult time for all of us".

On the album there are three great guests from the world of tango: the renowned traditional tango singer Guillermo Fernández, in a version of “Oblivion”, by Astor Piazzolla; Amores Tangos in “El Chamuyo ", a classic Tanghetto milonga arranged for this collaboration, and the co-pioneers of the Argentine electrotango, Narcotango, in order to “Blue Tango too” with Carlos Libedinsky, who performed and arranged this song.
