An in-depth dissertation on the musical history of the tango it's not, but the piece gives a good impression of one artist's passion for an art form that is synonymous for seduction. It reminded me of the extent to which our largely Protestant western cultures have lost touch with the sensuality that seems so very natural in many non western art forms. The music we hear here is an expression of a culture that seems so close to ours but is far from the stiff embarrassment which we offer at anything that smacks of voluptuousness. It makes me want to rush out and buy the cd.
