La Boca, Buenos Aires.
I takes two to Tango, but it also takes the Bandonean (or two) and the Violin, the Cello and the Guitar...and some old guys in hats with a microphone.
I've heard some hauntingly beautiful music that makes my hair stand on end, a lot from buskers on the streets, and the energy from these guys was no exception.
This group was performing at one of the many tourist type restaurants in La Boca that feature Tango shows to accompany lunch or dinner. They were quite deliriously fabulous, and judging by their repartee between songs, have enjoyed playing together for a long long time.
P.S. Spell check wants to change Bandonean into abandon...
and it is quite like that!
