Buenos Aires sung with a straight face and a breaking heart: male and female voices trade barrios — La Boca's poisoned river, Recoleta's marble dead, Palermo sliced into six — over weeping bandoneon and an electrotango pulse, while the city's grandeur keeps deflating into a German-born soul, an uncountable default, and a couch that's always free. Reina del Plata, overdrawn and adored.

L45 The Local Anthems Nuevo Tango / Electrotango

Dios Atiende In Buenos Aires

Style

Dramatic nuevo tango / electrotango at a moderate rubato-to-4/4 tempo, built on weeping bandoneon, grand piano, walking double bass and solo violin under a subtle electronic pulse, sung by an equal male and female lead in melodramatic, Rioplatense-accented duet that swells from intimate verses into soaring cabaret-grand choruses.
