Hello everybody,

I produced a CD of ballroom dancing requested from a dance instructor living in my city about 3 years ago.
There is a new TANGOTR.STY(Tango Trio with Piano)RealTracks set in Band-in-a-Box 2016 for Windows.
So, I have tried to re-arrange one of the songs contained in the CD by using the new RealTracks set.
Now I will introduce it to you.

Title: 酒と幻想のタンゴ(Translation: Tango of Wine & Illusion)

Hi Shigeki,

professional arrangement! Especially the strings at the beginning.
The vocals sound authentic to me. Could be
Portuguese as well.
Very enjoyable listen.

Hey Shigeki, after the french pop style, the argentinian tango !
What a Wonderful playing and orchestration !
About the vocal, I guess Guenter would say rather "Spanish" wink
Cheers

Hello, Guenter, Pat and Pascal

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
Very very kind words. I am so glad.
Studying European languages is very hard.
But I would like to try to write lyrics in foreign languages some day.
I will post music of other genre next time again.

Best Regards.

Hi Shigeki Adachi,

This is FANTASTIC!!!! I absolutely love the dramatic intensity of the opening. It made me sit up straight in my chair! You have really excelled yourself with orchestrating this.

I compliment your singer/lyricist too. He has an excellent voice and it's very well suited to this.

What I like most is that you've shown us all just how versatile midi can be in the hands of a competent musician.

Overall... very classy, very enjoyable, thoroughly entertaining!

All the best,
Noel

Hello, David, Greg, Noel, Leo, floyed and Bob

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I always much appreciate your very very kind words.
Though my vocalist this time is a dancer, I also think he is a good singer.

Bob, this lyrics are not so tragic.
The story of this song is that a man of the drunkard is teased by a woman of the tavern.
Thank you again to all.

Best Regards.
