It Takes Two To Tango





Ástor Pantaleón Piazzolla (March 11, 1921 – July 4, 1992) was an Argentine tango composer and bandoneón player. His oeuvre revolutionized the traditional tango into a new style termed nuevo tango, incorporating elements from jazz and classical music. A virtuoso bandoneonist, he regularly performed his own compositions with different ensembles.

I love the harsh sound of the bandoneon.

Argentina's dilapidated rail services are plagued by delays and travelers' anger sometimes erupts into violence.




What would it take?
