El Choclo

I recently got obsessed with this piece of tango music. To distract myself, I browsed the web and found myself surprised by the different versions that exist of it. Everyone presumably has heard it before, but for whatever reason, the 'pop' - versions seem to be much more known than the ones that have real character, real life in them (some of which, admittedly, one can not listen to whilst working - they are too attention demanding).

To mend this 'problem' and introduce you to the real fun: here are the versions of different styles which I found most remarkable.

Libertad Lamarque - female singer

Guitar version

Orquesta de Francisco Canaro - male singer

Roberto Filpo - milonga version

Hungarian violin version

Enjoy!

autumn mood - again

Come to think of it - possibly autumn might be my favorite season. Don't get me wrong, I also enjoy the other ones.. but I simply love the colors and the light which in autumn are somehow softer than usual. Same thing for the rustling noises of leafs everywhere (and don't forget all these golden ones raining down on you like in a fairy tale) and the sweet taste of the air. I even don't mind when the skies are grey; it just makes the golden and red tones shine even more.
