Si desapareció
en mi aparecerá
creyeron que murió
pero renacerá
Llovió, paró, llovió
y un chico adivinó
oímos una voz, y desde un tango
rumor de pañuelo blanco
No eran buenas esas épocas
malos eran esos aires
fue hace veinticinco años
y vos existías, sin existir todavía.

 
If he disappeared
he will reappear in me
they believed he died
but he will be reborn.
It rained, it stopped, it rained
and a kid guessed
we heard a voice, and from a tango
white handkerchief rustle.
Those were not good times
bad was the air
it was 25 years ago
and you existed, without existing yet.

That is funny {#Lol}.

I really want you to know, though, that she is actually talking about the dictatorship period around 1976, very hard and serious stuff. Thanks Danny_G for the photo, name and lyrics.

Oh my god, this music is used in an advert for dishwasher detergent.  It's nice to hear the entire song.

I'd be happy to consider agreeing with your statement, if you'd care to cough up a useful definition of 'real instruments' for me.

In fact, walking down the streets of Buenos Aires a couple months ago, I heard this very song being played in several stores. As if that weren't odd enough, I heard it again last week in Paris! Funny thing is, these guys are from Paris but call themselves "top Argentinean musicians exiled in Paris." I guess it all fits now.

I really dig this stuff, but I guess that's obvious.


Funny thing...I was in Buenos Aires last week and heard this one twice. My girlfriend is an Argentine tango nut (and to brag for her, she's excellent too), and she also loves this group. I think she referred to this as "modern tango" music...

Let's hear less from knuckle dragging, misogyonistic y-chromosomes. Just a suggestion.

I have a friend who swears by this band. The CD is really nice, if not a little melodramatic - but hey, it's Argentinian Tango.

Each element sounds okay on its own, but the overall effect is numbing. The drum loop is modestly interesting, but with so little variation. Each instrument and the singing are all working on similar rhythms, creating no contrast. Kind of a waste of time, now that I think about it. I should stop wasting my time writing about it, huh?
