El Tango


As I expand my Argentina playlist on Youtube, I want to share this interesting Robert Colescott painting that alludes to the black origins of tango. More Argentines who think black people in their country died out in the late 19th century should see this painting, as well as read Robert Farris Thompson.

  1. Check out Juan Carlos Caceres' Tango negro Cd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uQh5RfE2XA&feature=kp I have the first, but he recorded a couple (or more) more albums of rootsy tangos.
