The release of a tango album by salsa legend Rubén Blades is not as surprising as it sounds. After all, many singers (Latin and not) before Blades have done it, as the tango has always been a source of bewitchment for musicians, dancers, and audiences worldwide. On the other hand, it is almost shocking to realize that, instead of putting his own spin on a set of standards as most singers do, perhaps complemented with a few new songs written especially for the occasion, Blades chose to rework 11 of his classic salsa compositions into the tango idiom. Blades surrounded himself with a superb cast of collaborators, first and foremost Argentine arranger and composer Carlos Franzetti, with whom he had worked assiduously in the past but who, curiously, is more of a jazz than a tango specialist. The Prague Symphony Orchestra and the Leopoldo Federico Orchestra, a world-class tango ensemble comprising four bandoneons, five violins, cello, double bass, and piano, are called in to provide the required instrumental textures
