Tango Argentino
Two people, one old wound, and neither one wants to let go first.
Tango Argentino is a style from the Roots That Hold Fast family. 116 BPM, Weirdness 19, Style Influence 98.
A bandoneón that breathes like a wounded chest and a voice straight from the back streets of Buenos Aires. Passion and tragedy dancing dangerously close in the Buenos Aires night.

Sample excerpt
Volví a la esquina donde te esperaba, la misma luz, el mismo farol cansado. No te busqué: vine a ver si el arrabal seguía sabiendo lo que yo ya sé.
Y el bandoneón respira como pecho herido, y yo respiro igual, que para eso aprendí. Bailá conmigo, aunque sea con tu ausencia, que un tango sin tragedia no se llama así.
Workshop note — Voseo, arrabal, farol: el tango vive en su vocabulario. La estrofa es una vuelta al lugar, el estribillo respira con el bandoneón (imagen tomada literal de la carta). Pasión y tragedia, siempre las dos: sin una no hay género.
