Review by Pam Carriker

Tango Immortels by Lily Vincent: A Hidden Gem from 1981 If you’re a fan of Latin music with that sultry tango twist, Tango Immortels by Lily Vincent is an album you need to check out. Released way back in 1981 in the Netherlands, this record feels like stepping into a smoky Buenos Aires dance hall but with a European flair. It’s got that classic Decca/Dureco Benelux polish, thanks in no small part to producer G. Delfosse and accompanist Hector Delfosse (yep, they share a last name—maybe family? Who knows!). This isn’t one of those flashy albums that tries too hard; it lets the music do the talking. There are only two tracks listed—"Tango Immortels Vol. 1" and "Tango Immortels Vol. 2"—but don’t let that fool ya. These aren’t your average songs; they feel more like journeys. Take “Vol. 1,” for example. The opening notes hit you right away—it’s dramatic, kinda haunting, but also super smooth. You can almost picture Lily swaying under dim lights, her voice wrapping around each note like silk. It sticks with me because it doesn’t rush. Instead, it builds slowly, pulling you deeper into its world until you forget where you are. And then there’s “Vol. 2,” which kicks things up a notch. This one has a bit more energy, like someone decided to pour passion straight into the melody. The strings really shine here, adding layers of emotion that make you wanna close your eyes and just listen. What makes this album special is how raw and real it feels. Back in ‘81, when synth-heavy pop was starting to take over, Lily Vincent stayed true to tango’s roots while still giving it her own spin. It’s not perfect—there are moments where the production could’ve been punchier—but honestly, that imperfection adds charm. Now, here’s the weird thing: as much as I love this album, I can’t help wondering why it didn’t blow up bigger. Maybe it was the timing, maybe it was the niche style, or maybe people just weren’t ready for something so unapologetically emotional. Either way, it’s a shame more folks don’t know about it today. So if you stumble across Tango Immortels, give it a shot. Put it on late at night when the house is quiet, or better yet, play it during dinner with someone who appreciates good vibes. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself dancing in the kitchen.
