Tango Royal

Sa-cd.net

“Carel Kraaijenhof is a local hero in the Netherlands. He played at the royal wedding of the King and Queen of the Netherlands. During the wedding Carel played an Astor Piazzolla track called Adios Nonino. The song is about the loss of Astor’s father and is a very important track for the people of Argentina and Queen Maxima.

In fact the Queen was involved in the re-arrangement of this song for the royal wedding. She cried and forever stole the heart of the people of the Netherlands.

It was the most re-run bit of television of the year 2002. This made Carel into a local hero and made Tango a popular type of music in the Netherlands. This album went multi platinum and the single Adios Nonino went to number one in the pop charts in the Netherlands.

The album is great. Everything one could and should expect on a Tango album. The recording of this album was in the hands of the Polyhymnia crew so one can only say it’s up to the highest standards possible. I’m sure Tango isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but it certainly would be a loss if you never tried it.”
