Tango Fantasy
Ken Herrera (piano and composer)
An alluring Latin American Odyssey
Ken Herrera's Tango Fantasy is a luscious journey through Latin rhythms and harmonies. Beginning with the driving power of his Tango Waltz, the pianist and composer then takes you on a side road through the Baroque undertones of the Suite, before returning to South America with the swaying yet elegant Third Nocturne, a piece that combines bossa nova and blues to sumptuous effect. We return to Argentina with the powerful five-movement Tango Fantasy that headlines the disc - an emotionally intense distillation of classical piano and tango that should have you itching to get out on the dance floor.
