Tango for Ines
Jul 13, 06:41 AM
I'm a tango violinist who migrated from the US to Argentina in 2002. This is a tango I improvised & my friend put some guitar to it. I felt deeply connected to tango 25 years ago and this pull on my heart inspired me to migrate halfway across the globe.
I have been absorbed by tango, the stylish essence mixed with the mugre (filth) of the big city streets, the rhythmic swing that belongs to Buenos Aires, the stickiness of the air & the glisten of the dancers sweat as they dance in leather bottomed shoes, embraced.
