The selections on this gathering of charming tango tunes come from a surprising rainbow of cultures. It's no shock that Argentina, Brazil and Portugal, for example, are here. But would you believe Finland? Norway? Sure! And more to boot. The tango finds eleven different manifestations on "Tango Around the World," and, as usual, we're not in for a cheapjack cutout bin saucer of lukewarm, generic world music. Rather, this is full-bodied and real - quality music from a quality label that knows how to capture a whole slice of musical society in a single disc, many single dishes amounting to a respectable canon from a respectable label. Putumayo proudly represents a slew of musical expression and artistic cultural diversity - and "Tango" is no exception. There's nothing phoned in here. The music is cheerfully seductive, playful to play or playful for love. World fans: Dance or kiss, but do it tango style. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
