What music are you listening to?

​God’s Country

 
Stones over Beatles. Frank Zappa for my weird side.

For the classical world, Shostakovich. But, I'm a romantic so Puccini in opera.

Got into a big fight with Sile when I posted that (maybe my favorite tango clip). :) He told me it wasn't "real" tango. Well, it's not the tango my parents danced and that my dad taught me, but it's wonderful all the same.

Thanks for the additional clips. I like the electronic tango music, but they're a little "out there" for me in terms of dance style. :) I'd pull every hair out of my daughter's head if I ever saw her go out to a dance club dressed like that.

I don't know what a real expert like you would think, but I love the following. I don't think there's a single style of tango I don't like. In my next life I'm going to be a great tango dancer.:)

You just posted my favorite Far Western music. Even better than the main theme imo.
Since we're on the mood, here is another one, now from Gianni Ferrio.
Un Dollaro Bucato

Phenomenal whistlers
 
When I was a boy, about 14 years old, the entire school I attended, Goliad Junior High School in Big Spring, Texas, was called into the gymnasium to listen to a guy whistle. According to him, he was the man did all the whistling in Bridge Over the River Kwai, and much else as well. I don't know what the educational intent was, but he was pretty good.

Why would I be an expert? Not at all. Just a fan, as you.
The use of the term "cleaning", just kidding, was inserted in a certain context. ;)

I'm not really a dancer though, and not just of tango. This limitation probably came from paternal side, which ironically is much more attached to music. Maternal side, on the other hand, generally makes better dancers, but not "musicians".:) Why am I saying this? Well, obviously I like a lot to watch dances, but I tend to like the musics themselves even more. And I won't lie. Generally I prefer the traditional, which doesn't mean I don't like the others, or the "moderns". I do, and that's why I posted them. I didn't know you had already done it, btw. :)
So, no problem in comparisons, however, we don't need to do it all the time. If we're not doing some kind of "study" or specific analysis, if we're just having fun or a good moment, in fact there is no need to do it. Plus, the names, the genders, are mainly references, and they don't matter that much as just names. In short, what I mean is that we just like the music or don't like it, no matter how it's classified. Time ago I've been in a pizzaria in occasion of a birthday, and there was a Neapolitan there. He just refused to try the Brazilian pizza, because it's different. While I understood and respected the preference itself, I almost said: dude, never mind how you call it; create a name if you prefer, but put a damn piece into your mouth, taste it and see if you like, as a pie or whatever. ah ah ah If still he hadn't like it, ok. No problem. Well, I don't blame him. We're all inclined to do it, even if inadvertently.
Same with coffee. It's like you don't drink the boiled only because you like more the Espresso. je je Point is... Imagine if we listened, ate, visited etc. just what we like the most... No. No sense.
I just decided next time I'll try the American boiled coffee as a kind of tea. Maybe I'll like it so. ah ah ah

That said, the list you posted is really a mix. :) And it's good, yes. Thanks for sharing. I didn't know most of them.
And Piazzolla (nuevo tango) is a "classic", so to speak! No comments! :)

Cheers
 
Another great combination of music and lyrics

"Por una cabeza" Carlos Gardel

Really great, italouruguayan.
Just love Buenos Aires, btw. My main destination in the last years. I've been there four times between 2011 and 2016, and also in other parts of Argentina. I've been in the hippodrome where supposedly Gardel was inspired for "Por Una Cabeza".
Like "fatty" parrillada so much that sometimes I ate it twice a day there, with a good Malbec, one of my favorites together with Tempranillo (back to home I had to "burn" it all, lol). Also liked to watch tango presentations, naturally.

Now I have to visit the main destinations of your Uruguay. I know just Rio Branco so far.

You will be welcome Regio X!
And here you will enjoy the Tango (because it belongs to the Rio de la Plata, not only to Argentina) and the Candombe (Afro-Uruguayan music) ...

Really? Peñarol fans would be glad to receive a Grêmio's? Just kidding! ;-)
Yep, I know well the Tannat from Uruguay, and like it pretty much. Bought a box of H. Stagnari years ago. Loved. "Powerful".
Indeed, your meat is just one of the best in the world, if not the best.
Plus, it's "the only country in the world with a completely computerised traceability system" (of meat). :)
