Besides Hugo Díaz, there's newer music to check out, even though tango, 
chacareras, zamba (not with initial 's') are not "latin" as caribbean music.

Last year Franco Luciani -a young chromatic player- released a whole 
tango album, accompained only by piano. Nice stuff, in fact. Goggle him 
and you'll surely find some of his tunes or info. I have that CD and 
it's great.

There are some other recordings by Luis Saltos, Milton Bianco and many 
other players. You can download some tunes for free at

About Angel Villoldo (tango composer, not singer), there's nothing 
recorded by him as a harp player.
