Play!
Audio Streaming
The new musical experience to live, explore, and listen to the richness of Tango.
For better Tango listening
Play! is the first listening platform exclusively dedicated to tango. Unlike generalist streaming services (Spotify, Amazon...), where track information is often incorrect and suggestions are poorly suited, we envisioned an experience designed for enthusiasts: reliable information, relevant recommendations, and a simple interface to fully enjoy this unique music.
Creating such a service was a challenge, and more await us to improve it with your support and that of the many contributors to El Recodo. We are convinced that listening better to tango means living it better, and that every dancer, by discovering more and listening better, will also enrich their tango.
With Play!, we invite all tango lovers to dive into this culture, so that every note becomes a source of inspiration.
My Play!
With My Play!, every user automatically shapes their listening experience. Based on your votes and listening habits, Play! creates a unique selection just for you. The suggested tracks are diverse, while maintaining subtle connections between them, offering a smooth and immersive listening experience.
To guide your exploration, you can easily choose an orchestra, a singer, a style, or an era that interests you. And to add variety, Search for a specific tango, create your own Playlists, or save your Favorites to revisit your top picks.
With Play!, you create your musical journey, at your own pace and according to your desires.
