Il aboutit aussi un questionnement artistique né il y a 20 ans. Sa rencontre alors avec la poétesse et chanteuse Dana Bryant, première héroïne du genre fut décisive.Le magistral percussionniste argentin basé en France, pétri des saveurs multicolores des traditions rythmiques de son pays et de la philosophie du jazz, conjuguées aux enrichissements de son expérience transatlantique (Mercedes Sosa, Raul Barboza, Cuarteto Cedron, Jaime Torres, Ibrahim Maalouf, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Richard Galliano, Daniel Mille, Jackie Terrason...) a fait sienne les convictions poétiques du spoken world. Après en avoir parsemé ses derniers albums, il s’y consacre ici entièrement.Sur Speaking Tango, Minino Garay fait danser des mots rares d’une voix profonde, tendre, sensuelle ou hallucinée. Il les pose, les projette, les déclame ou les caresse avec une sincérité sans filtre.
