Per the request of Saje, i have decided that i wanted to leave a post with some of my favorite Tango songs. Tango is the music is of the soul from Argentina. This has got to be the most melodramatic music on Earth. The ammount of Passion and emotion that is poured into this music can be felt from the moment you hear it. From the tragically passionate lyrical performance, to the painful sounds of the Viola and Bandoneón cutting through your soul. Tango is sure to reach right to the bottom of your very being.

Hi Nick,
ReplyDeleteHere's a link of a youtube video from the Dutch royal wedding of our crown prince a few years ago. He married a Argenina girl (now princess Maxima) At their wedding we cold hearted Dutch people got introduced with the Bandoleon. I thought it was beautiful. Hope you like it too.
