Hi there, dear readers!
Today I bring you what's probably the most recognizable tango in the world: "La Cumparsita". But there's a twist. It's not the original theme, but a somewhat bizarre version as a result of the fusion of several different musical styles. Curious?
Well, enough with the mystery! The version of "La Cumparsita" I'm presenting you is a mix of tango, Indian music and electronic/house music. An odd mix to say the least, that could end up in disaster, but not in this case, since it works surprisingly well! The responsible for "La Cumparsita (Tang'Oriental House Mix)" is the french musical producer Hovannes K., and is included in his album Mixez Vos Sens... Hovannes K. is better known for his collaboration with Claude Challe (french DJ with Tunisian origin, considered the guru of arabian, indian and western sonorities fusion lounge) as a producer and artistic director of several Buddha Bar albums, one of the most successful musical collections in the musical world. He also produced several top selling chillout compilation albums. So, there's no surprise if I tell you I first heard this tune in a Claude Challe compilation album, namely a 3 CD album called Claude Challe - The Best Of.
That said, I present you "La Cumparsita (Tang'Oriental House Mix)", which I sincerely hope you enjoy. I draw your attention to the fantastic violin played throughout the song and, of course, the inevitable accordion. See you next time!
