    Agreed, it's highly charged, passionate and almost erotic.

    I love it.

    Not queer, but just superb. I find Tango music, especially La Cumparsita, very moving, but I'm not sure why.


    It's amazing what wonderful music Argentina, especially Piazolla has given to the world.

    Piazzolla’s Libertango sends shivers of appreciation up my spine every time I hear it. Thanks for this, Splinter !
