Piazzolla & Bandoneon

"El Bandoneon" - one of my favourite instruments in the world

Here it is a delicious short history of the " BANDONEON" (instrument par excellence of the TANGO) told by the innovator genius, Astor Piazzolla.

I cannot even start to describe what this instrument provokes in me.
While in Buenos Aires, I cried with no self-control whatso ever when watching a show of BANDONEONES. No dancers, no fancy fru-frus, JUST a bunch of wonderful old musicians playing their bandoneones and all the hidden strings of my soul were touched in a magical way I cannot effectively describe by words.

Here it is my humble homage to one of my elected world music instruments: El Bandoneon.
