...just during/after the european journey, Matias “Mingo”German, conceived the idea of experimenting with music styles like ñu jazz, klezmer and personal original melodies focusing and mixing them with afro-argentinian sound colours & rhythm feels from rio de la plata and arg.folk like tango, milonga, candombe, chacarera, zamba, chamamè, huayno, landò, festejo, etc.
This studio AV rec session joined some 1st.class master artists like bandoneon “maestro” Walter Rios (Mercedes Sosa, Susana”tana”Rinaldi, Sexteto Mayor, Seleccion Nacional del tango Arg.), Jorge Retamoza (tango sax master),Marcos Edward (guitar),Roberto Seitz (contrabasse)and Matias Mingote German (drums,percussion&comp.) getting the ideal of a well-balanced music ensemble

The live performance was handled by master sound tech Gualberto de Orta at Tolosa Estudio (ARG.) and special arrangements created by “il capo” Diego Caniggia and Mingo.

Artisanal produced by P&M Europe + Nova Musica/MMG Ind. and sponsored by IDEjazz/UFLO, Afroamerican Music, Colombo Percusion Arg., Dream Cymbals,Cympad accessories,Remo and LP.

Since there, this original project idea is eventually touring all over the world from Spain, doing live performances and educational concerts feat. high class master musicians like John Stein (guitar master/Berklee College US educator), Rebecca Kleinmann (flute master-USA), Evan Harlan (accordion master, NEC-Boston), John Lockwood (bass master /Berklee College US educator), JP.Jofre(bandoneon master-NY), Eli Vanunu (sax-Israel), Michaela Rabitsch&R.Pawlik (Austria), Uwe Urbanowsky (Austria), F.Lechner, Rick Malmsteen (HK-China), C.Constantini (bandoneon-NL), Ale Szabo (bandoneon/Esp.-Arg.), etc.

*PS comment: “The music of Mingotan Project was excellent. I have been playing Papirosen for years, written by Herman Yablokoff, though most of his songs were taken from old Russian folk songs. I think all your stuff is very good and the bigger the band the better. Keep up the good work! All the best”.
