“With their latest album La Próxima Traición Ben Bogart (Bandoneon) and Winnie Cheung (Piano) as Ben & Winnie pay homage to tango’s tradition of revolutionary innovation at the pinnacle of their musical expression.”

“Recorded in the heart of Buenos Aires at Fort Studios (the studio historically known for its role in the counterculture element of Argentina) and mixed and mastered at El Jardin del furor, the album’s tracks range from traditional Argentine tango pieces of the 1920s, superbly stripped down and rearranged for bandoneon and piano, to the newest title track number composed specifically with Ben & Winnie’s piano, bandoneon, and banter-filled creative dynamic in mind.” – rockpaperscissors.biz
