Review by Ken Boostrom

Homenaje A Aníbal Troilo: A Raw, Heartfelt Ode to Tango’s Soul You know that feeling when music grabs you by the throat and just won’t let go? That’s what “Homenaje A Aníbal Troilo” does. Released in 1977 under RCA Victor, this album is more than a collection of songs—it’s a love letter to tango itself. With legends like Roberto Goyeneche, Floreal Ruiz, and Roberto Rufino lending their voices, plus Raúl Garello arranging for Orquesta Típica Porteña, it feels less like an album and more like stepping into a smoky Buenos Aires milonga late at night. Let me tell ya—this record hits hard. Like, really hard. It’s not some polished studio thing where everything sounds perfect but kinda soulless. Nah, this is raw, gritty, full of heartbreaks and longing. Two tracks stand out for me so much they’ve been stuck in my head for days: "Che Bandoneón" and "Garúa." First off, "Che Bandoneón." Oh man, if you don’t get goosebumps hearing those opening notes, check your pulse. The bandoneón (that squeezebox instrument central to tango) weeps here like it’s got a lifetime of regrets bottled up inside. When Roberto Goyeneche starts singing, his voice cracks with emotion—it's messy, imperfect, and absolutely beautiful. You can almost picture him leaning against a lamppost somewhere in San Telmo, cigarette dangling from his lips, pouring his soul out. This track reminds me why tango isn’t just music; it’s therapy for anyone who’s ever loved or lost. Then there’s "Garúa," which honestly wrecked me. Garúa means drizzle, right? But this ain’t no light rain—it’s one of those heavy downpours that makes you sit by the window nursing a cup of mate while thinking about all the things you wish you’d said but never did. Floreal Ruiz sings it with this quiet desperation, every word dripping with melancholy. By the time the strings swell behind him, I was ready to cry over people I haven’t even met yet. Seriously, how do they pack so much sadness into five minutes? The rest of the album keeps the vibe alive too. Tracks like "Sur" and "Toda Mi Vida" are equally haunting, each one painting vivid pictures of Buenos Aires’ streets, its stories, its ghosts. Even upbeat numbers like "Pa’ Que Bailen Los Muchachos" carry a bittersweet edge, like dancing through tears. What strikes me most about this album is how human it feels. These guys weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel—they were paying tribute to Troilo, sure, but also to the essence of tango itself. And damn, did they nail it. Here’s the kicker though—listening to this made me realize something weird. In a world obsessed with instant gratification and shiny new stuff, albums like “Homenaje A Aníbal Troilo” remind us that beauty often lies in imperfection. Maybe that’s why tango survives—it doesn’t try to hide the pain. Instead, it wraps it up in melody and says, “Hey, you’re not alone.” So yeah, give this album a spin if you want to feel something real. Just maybe keep tissues handy—you’ve been warned.
