An important song of my past is the tango “Uno”. The name of it, is directly related to the lyric, a complaint from a tormented soul. Libertad Lamarque is a grear singer, so I chose this version, how you can see, is a song in a movie then is more interesting, or is more interesting to me. =)
This reminds, a part of my life a little dark, depressing, I only had 18 years and recently I had finish with my boyfriend, I really was in love, but well, sometimes the things doesn't works. One day I listened this tango in the AM radio, and the lyric expressed my feelings, was an intense emotion, was a thrill to hear it. Through the time, this song has meant different things on my life, fortunately now are only memories.
How you can listen, this song is a tango, well, according to the history, the tango is a dance form, that derives from the Cuban habanera, the Argentine milonga and candombe, and is said to contain elements from the African community in Buenos Aires, influenced both by ancient African rhythms and the music from Europe, mmm but about that, is not quite correct, because it is said that in the nineteenth century France, at the cabarets, the predominant music was something so similar to the tango, but these are only oral histories about how this music was, then is very difficult say exactly if the tango is or not, a Latin invention or an european exportation, can you draw their own conclusions, in any case, is not important to me, I like its ability to express feelings.
Listen and enjoy, she is Libertad Lamarque.
