I am trying to translate the title of the first tango music to be written for a project, and am having a difficult time. It may be lunfardo as well as spanish.

As I have several Argentinian friends, I can help you with this one. Mate is a very popular type of tea (tastes sort of like green tea) in Argentina and Brazil. Tomar is in this case to drink. Many Argentinians refer to eachother as ché, it's like saying "bro" in English, something of a term of endearment. Hope this helps you.
