• This is the long-awaited solo debut from Dolores Solá, the lead singer of the popular, influential Argentinean tango group La Chicana. For her first solo album, the charismatic singer has decided to delve into the catalogues of three true tango legends: Carlos Gardel, Agustín Magaldi, and Ignacio Corsini.

• But contrary to expectations, “Salto Mortal” offers much more than just tangos. It includes material ranging from classic tango to the fox trot, pasodoble, waltz and even Portuguese fado. Through this variety of styles, Dolores Solá recreates the Buenos Aires of the past, the “Belle Epoque” (“Beautiful Age”) of the city, if you will. The result is a bold disc, inventive and above all full of passion.

• The singer is accompanied by a superb band including : Diego Rolón (guitar), Martín Pavlovsky (piano), Luis Volcoff (guitarrón), and of course, her singing partner from La Chicana, Acho Estol (playing numerous instruments and providing arrangements). Plus special guests Juan “el Tata” Cedrón (“The Grandfather”), and Atilio Reynoso.

• Furthermore, this edition comes in a striking double gatefold digipak sleeve and beautifully designed booklet, including a moving and revealing introduction by Dolores Solá herself.
