The album features Julián Venegas as the Tanguero, Mica Racciattias the Devil, Victoria Di Raimondo as Love and Noelia Moncada as the Night, alongside an outstanding ensemble of musicians from diverse musical backgrounds. (See credits).

The album was recorded in several studios, primarily at Romaphonic Studios in Buenos Aires. Its origins date back to October 2008, when Martín Delgado wrote the first sketches of the work in Berlin, where he was touring with his electrotango group San Telmo Lounge.

Given the scale of the project and the complexity of the recording process, the work took nearly 20 years to see the light of day.

Across its 14 tracks, the album draws on a wide range of influences, from Portishead and their celebrated *Live at Roseland NYC* concert to Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons Project and other great British classic rock bands of the 1970s, as well as the ever-present influence of Astor Piazzolla, whose impact is undeniable when discussing the fusion of different musical styles within tango.

The soundscapes of each of the 14 pieces (three of them instrumental) reflect meticulous orchestration and an ambitious approach to the relationship between lyrics and music. Adding to this is the remarkable writing of Adrián Abonizio, one of the finest lyricists to emerge from Argentina.

SYNOPSIS

Tangomorfosis is a tango-rock opera that tells the story of an artist confronted with humanity's age-old dilemma: choosing between eternity and love. In a poetic landscape of cobblestone streets, neon lights, supernatural pacts and inner ghosts, a Tanguero finds in the Night his refuge, his muse and his way of understanding the world. Blessed with extraordinary talent and a sensitivity that allows him to turn darkness into beauty, he devotes himself entirely to tango, convinced that artistic creation can overcome any defeat.

However, his destiny changes when the Devil (portrayed here by a woman), fascinated by the intensity of his creative spirit, offers him an irresistible pact: to escape death forever. In exchange, he must renounce what makes a person truly human: the ability to love. Seduced by the promise of transcendence, the Tanguero accepts the deal without fully understanding its consequences. What seemed like a victory over time becomes an invisible prison.

The arrival of Love upends all the rules of the game. The feeling that was meant to remain forbidden erupts with an unstoppable force, exposing the fragility of the immortality he has attained. Amid passion, deception, sacrifice and revelation, the protagonist discovers that no talent, no glory and no eternity can fill the emptiness of a heart condemned to feel nothing. As the Night watches and the Devil demands what she considers hers, the Tanguero embarks on a painful and inevitable transformation: a true tangomorphosis, in which the man, the artist and the myth merge into a single being.

With an aesthetic that blends the world of tango, the epic grandeur of opera and the energy of rock, Tangomorfosis explores universal themes such as artistic creation, temptation, the desire to transcend human limits, the fear of death and the price of irreversible decisions. It is a story of love and damnation, of light and shadow, in which each character embodies an essential force of existence and the final question remains unanswered: is it worth living forever if it means no longer truly living?
