Milonga triste

In Music, Tango on August 26, 2008 at 10:49 pm

Now here is some of the most creative work of music ever produced. Yes, its tango and I selected a You Tube video where the dance wasn’t completely in the dark.  Its very visible, the woman’s white stockinged legs celebrate the fluidity and subtleness of the Argentine tango. It is also the opening track of “The Tango Lesson” a movie starring and directed by Sally Potter. On a later track Sally Potter provides the lyrics and vocals to the same tune of Milonga Triste in a tune called “I am You”. She uses the the bandeleon and Yo-Yo Ma on cello. I’ll post that later for comparison, but for now, if you haven’t heard this music of Milonga Triste….enjoy
