PROUD OF THE BEAUTIFUL REVIEW Rick van Boeckel wrote in Writteninmusic about our Alive! CD

Alive! is a live recording made by Jan van Rijnsoever of Tangata and singer Jeannine Geerts in TivoliVredenburg. Tangata consisting of Margreet Markerink (piano), Jacqueline Edeling (bandoneón) was reinforced for this live recording with the Argentinian violinist Andrea Bentivoglio and double bassist Boris Franz. The five perform on this album a number of beautiful tangos such as Piazzolla's Libertango, still the best, Invierno Porteà ± o and Mumuki in which the tango melancholy is strongly expressed, with subtle piano accompaniment and classically tinted violin sounds.

Markerink's own compositions are also very successful :innesota tango, Luces de Belmonteen and the jazzyTake A Breath. And the instrumental piano-violin duet Los Mareados by Juan Carlos Cobian. Jeannine Geerts convincingly brings Maria de Buenos Aires to life in Piazzolla and Horacio Ferrer composed and written. Yo soy Mariaen sings very powerfully in Los Pájaros Perdidos by Piazzolla that can be found just like Oblivion on Historias del Sur (Stories from the South), Tangata in 2012 released. Outside the tango framework are the songs sung by Jeannine Geerts, Hijo de La Luna (by José Maria Cano) and the by Yasmin Levy known Una Noche Másdat, which stands out in terms of feeling, interpretation and timing. Van Rijnsoever recorded the album in such a way that the live performance comes across strongly, including applause!

Last summer I met this group in the South of France: passionate tango music directly inspired by Astor Piazzolla, with flocks of pop and jazz! I got acquainted with Jacqueline Edeling and Margreet Markerink. Margreet plays incredible piano, live and kicking, rhythm, feeling, it splashes. Jacqueline is a bandoneonist of the highest level when she plays Ãs be it the instrument, you cannot get it more pure! Go

Go see and listen!
