Hello all.
I'm new to the list, so I'll introduce myself. My name is Andy Cahn,
Promotion Manager at Sony Classical. I wanted to let you know about a CD
we are
releasing in the US later this month called "Marcelo Alvarez Sings Gardel."
I'm
sure you all know all about Gardel, but maybe you don't know Alvarez, an
operatic
tenor from Argentina who records for Sony Classical. His first disc for us
was
a collection of Italian Arias, but for his new disc, he went back to
Argentina to record his favorite Carlos Gardel songs with a great band of
tango
musicians, including pianist Pablo Ziegler. There is even a "duet" between
Alvarez
and Gardel on "Mi Buenos Aires Querido." You can check it out on the web
at
http://sonyclassical.com/music/61840.
I would like to send this out to all the major tango organizations
throughout the US. Could someone please help me out with any kind of
mailing list?
I would also appreciate any information on radio shows that play a lot of
tango
classics. If you can help me out, I'll hook you up with an advance disc!
You can email me at andy_cahn @sonymusic.com.
Also, there is a TV special called "Marcelo Alvarez: In Search of Gardel"
that is scheduled to run on PBS stations this fall. It's mostly a
documentary
on Gardel's life and music, and how he is remembered in Buenos Aires. There
are also behind the scenes footage on the making of the Alvarez CD and music
videos of a few of the tracks.
WNET in New York, WNED in Buffalo, WPBT in Miami and KUAT in Tucson have
agreed to air the show this September and October, but I could use some help
convincing stations in other cities to air this great tango music program.
If you go
to the "PBS STATION LOCATOR" page at http://www.pbs.org/stationfinder, you
can enter your zipcode to find the station near you. You can then click on
a
station to find the phone number and email address. PBS programmers
definitely pay attention to audience response. If you let your station know
that you
want to see "In Search of Gardel" and other tango programs on TV, it will
make
a difference.
If someone out there operates a tango website, and wants to list the
stations with their phone numbers and email addresses, I can help set that
up for
you.
If you have a place where we can put up any posters about the CD and TV
special, I can send you materials.
Thanks, and please contact me at andy_cahn @sonymusic.com if you can help
out in any way.

Subject: MISC: source of Argentinian CD's
Dear Tango List:
I'm trying to find a source in the US for buying tango CD's made in
Argentina. I remember seeing the name of a supplier on this list at one
time who operated out of the San Francisco area, but I've misplaced both
the name and address. If someone could send me his name and address, and/or
any others I might contact, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have tried ordering CD's directly from Argentina via catalogues sent to
me, but I found the process cumbersome, unreliable, and frustrating. If
anyone has any suggestions about this process, they, too, would be greatly
appreciated.
