New Tango Project was born in 2016, with the aim of fusing the genres of jazz and tango from a renewing perspective, through their own compositions. With a line-up that has been maintained since its inception (Darío Polonara: bandoneon, Federico Salgado: double bass, Ramiro Rosa: drums and Guido Di Blasi: electric guitar and composition), the group revisits the roots of Argentine music and the essence of jazz, managing to build its own identity, a modern sound that respects and is nourished by these inspiring genres.

Masterminded by the prolific collaborators The Fattoruso Brothers, Airto Moreira and Hermeto Pascoal, Opa's Goldenwings is a latin-jazz-fusion extravaganza that weaves a sonic world that lives at the intersection of lush three-part vocal harmonies, tender flute solos, pulsating percussions and robust synth textures. Reissued on vinyl for the first time in 50 years as part of Jazz Dispensary's Top Shelf series, the album was cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI.

"As a descendant from both a family and country of mixed origins, I have always admired the richness that such blend produces. I have always been a searcher of union, of unity in diversity; always rooted in my Brazilian soil. As a friend of creation, the composition would clearly reveal its source of national belonging. Julio Falavigna and Antonio Porto have given me hands and together we’ve been threading various territories. Their own stories have brought me new horizons, so my Brazilian heart could feel many of the different saps that were already pulsating inside this composing tree of mine. I’ve let myself out to navigate onto faraway and primordial lands. And the heart has recognised itself as transatlantic, unveiling seas, yet just like the tree, maintaining its eternal root and original harbor."

He became an overnight international sensation, fled a military dictatorship, dodged the Vietnam war draft, had his music sung by Homer Simpson, made enemies with Marlon Brando, and became an unsuspecting fitness guru for multiple generations. But to truly understand the great Brazilian composer, arranger, singer and multi instrumentalist, one must listen to his music.
