For the film „12 Tangos“, the composer and guitarist Luis Borda assembled an orchestra consisting of some of the best Argentinian musicians. 16 tangos were exclusively arranged and recorded. The orchestra for „12 Tangos“ deliberately brings together several generations: Maria de la Fuente was the first singer who brought the tango to Japan. Today she is 92, and sings a duet with Lidia Borda, whom the „Rolling Stone“ described as „the best tango singer of the present“. Other songs are performed by Gabriel Menendez, Jorge Sobral and Eduardo Borda. The film shows the last pictures of the legendary bandoneonist José Libertella and the great singer Jorge Sobral – both died shortly after the end of filming. In the film, Libertella performs together with Julio Pane and the young Pablo Mainetti, who has just been nominated for a Grammy Award.
