CITY MUSIC
The porteños, as they are called to the inhabitants of the port city of Buenos Aires, mostly descendants of Italian immigrants and Spaniards who left part of their
roots to settle in Europe since the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in Argentina.
The Italian with his melancholy and Spanish with its Flemish converged on the tango, nostalgic, romantic and arrabalero that began as music of blacks meaning "go-as" the sound of drums.
TANGO
Music typical of Buenos Aires, sentimental in his lyrics, sensual dance. The tango milongas and traditional houses are located in the neighborhoods of San Telmo, the Abasto, La Boca and Puerto Madero.
The championships and festivals in this genre called urban music is divided into 2 categories: tango salon and tango scene. Another variant of Tango is the milonga: faster than the typical 2 x 4. "Mi Buenos Aires wanted to" sing like Carlos Gardel, "zorzal criollo" unmistakable voice.

Mi Buenos Aires querido
Música: Carlos Gardel
Letra: Alfredo Le Pera
My beloved Buenos Aires, when I see you again
there will be no more punishment nor forgotten.
El Farolito in the street where I was born
was the sentinel of my promises of love,
under his restless lucecita I saw her
I pebeta as a bright sun.
Today the fate that wants to see you again,
City of Buenos Aires my only wish,
and I hear the complaint of a bandoneon
rants and calls within the chest the heart.
Mi Buenos Aires, florida land,
where my life will end,
at your under no disappointments,
fly the years, forget the pain.
In caravan, the memories go,
as a trail of sweet emotion.
I want to know that evocarte
are the punishments of heart.
The window of my streets suburb
where a girl smiles in bloom;
I want to go back again today to contemplate
those eyes that look at stroke.
In the most maleva cut a song
said his request courage and passion;
a promise and a sigh
wiped a tear from that sentence sing.
(Chorus)
My beloved Buenos Aires, when I see you again
there will be no more punishment nor forgotten. Composed in 1934. |
