Review

Torres is a virtuoso of the small Andean ten-stringed charango guitar. Most of the cuts on this album are evocations of rural Argentinean and other Andean dances like the cueca and huayno, in which Torres plays with a wide range of folk-oriented small groups. This is charming enough stuff and well done. More adventurous are some urban tangos of very untraditional ilk, including a lengthy "El Dia Que Me Quieras" in tango nuevo vein. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music, All Music Guide

Charango is a 2002 album by the British group Morcheeba. Singles released include "Otherwise", "Way Beyond" and "Undress Me Now". However, the release of "Undress Me Now" fell through and thus no release was made however there was a promotional video created which displayed Skye Edwards in a Balinese-inspired room with actors digitally programmed into the video depicting 'the art of love-making'[citation needed].

There is also a Limited Edition Version where the second CD contains instrumental versions of all the tracks.
