Since Summer 98 my job didn't allow me any further participation, but I am looking for another choir to join. I first experienced Tango as a dance, whose music gripped me by its emotionality. Later I discovered Argentinean Tango , for which the lyrics are just as important as the music. Her voice, powerful as none, has a unique beauty and tenderness in the earlier recordings. While it has gotten steelier over time, it is still well worth hearing.
Argentinean folklore is rich and varied.
Some of the typical dances are Chacarera from Santiago del Estero, Zamba from Tucuman, Malambo from the Pampa region, and Carnavalito from Jujuy. Brasilean Music Chico Buarque and Milton Nascimento got me hooked on Brasilean music. Later I discovered the world of Bossa Nova through artists like Caetano Veloso , Joao Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim . At some point, I want to have here a listing of all my CD-titles. That might be a long way off, though.
