Şirin Pancaroğlu & Bora Uymaz’s new album ‘Cafe Tango’ is out now

Şirin Pancaroğlu & Bora Uymaz’s new album ‘Cafe Tango’ is out now and perfect for those looking for a real tango experience. With this album Şirin and Bora are breathing new life into the tradition of tango, with innovative Turkish tango compositions and fresh arrangements of classic melodies.

World-famous harpist Sirin Pancaroglu has been carrying out a stage project called ‘Cafe Tango’ since 2011. She has turned this enterprise into an unforgettable music album. The arrangements in the new album are sometimes surprising, sometimes inspiring, but still capable of evoking a sense of nostalgia. The works played are mostly new compositions created by Bora Uymaz and Şirin Pancaroğlu, but the album includes music by the great Astor Piazzolla and other examples of the classics of Argentine tango.

Bora Uymaz’s unique voice, with its perfect balance of strength and sensitivity, is combined with the skills of legendary Argentine guitarist Ricardo Moyano, experienced bandoneonist Carlos Gustavo Battistessa and contrabass master Volkan Topakoğlu, creating an unforgettable flavour of tango. Şirin Pancaroğlu’s powerful, boundary-pushing style of harp playing complements these performances, resulting in a magnificent feast of music.

The popularity of tango is still growing in Turkey. Bora Uymaz and Şirin Pancaroğlu’s unique approach opens new doors for Turkish tango. Their new album almost offers the sense of a live show.

Şirin Pancaroğlu and Bora Uymaz’s new album ‘Cafe Tango’ is out now from Kalan Music and is available on iTunes.
