One of the most popular downloadable music blogs. An incredible amount of tango music and albums.

Many-many djs use it as a great “source of inspiration”!

Once you’ve become familiar with the classic tango orchestras (for example: Orquesta Típica Carlos Di Sarli, Juan D’arienzo ), then you can move on to the next albums. (Bajar=download in Spanish, look for this on the site. )

Uncountable albums and collections, today theses can be found on the “special video” sites, youtube, vimeo etc.

Step-by -step directions:

Search for the name: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=argentine+tango+album

choose the music you want

Download either the video, or just the mp3 sound recording.

Downloadable and ready to listen. In the past it was free to download complete albums, but now the rules have changed. For an exchange you can download 70 of their most popular tango music:
