Out NOW on CD & Digital formats: CLICK HERE for the links
Tangolando is the first encounter of the tango with afro-Peruvian music, a journey integrating sounds born from the need of communication and exchange in Latin-American music. The penetrating passion of tango together with the sensuality and mischievousness of the Afro-Peruvian and creole genres give life to this meshed, fluid and organic approach from Sofia Tosello and Yuri Juárez. From the bandoneon's melancholic sounds to the rogue beat of the cajon, Tangolando recreates in a perfect balance timeless tangos through the freshness of Peru's coastal contemporary music. 
Tangolando was born in New York between a Peruvian musician (Yuri Juárez) and an Argentine singer (Sofía Tosello) conscious of the communication need in such a cosmopolitan and diverse city. The record holds tango classics such as "Cambalache"," Vuelvo Al Sur", "El Ultimo Café", "La Arenosa", "Nostalgias", "Milonga Sentimental", "Volver", "Naranjo En Flor", "Niebla de Riachuelo", songs by Carlos Gardel, Astor Piazzola, Enrique Cadícamo, Homero Expósito, and new compositions like "Canción Inútil" y "Astorpolka" (Yuri Juárez).

Juancho Herrera Banda (2011)
The key to Juancho’s music is the well crafted superimposition of layers of musical ideas that grow into the listener long after various listening sessions, always keeping the concept of “song” as a central core. The lyrics convey a strong sense of life as a consecutive collection of moments, deep in emotions, sarcasm and satire, socially aware and autobiographic. Using modern instrumentation such as electric bass and guitars in combination with traditional instruments such as Peruvian cajon and Venezuelan cuatro, the project achieves a vibrant dialog between tradition and forward motion.
