For the 4th week of Apr.2017 - we chose a video uploaded on Apr.03-2013 by our friend Dr.240252 titled "'LaCumparsita' - Tango by Carlos Molina - 1931". It needs to be noted briefly that Dr.240252 translated the title to this arguably most famous Tango in the world - as "the hidden one" which we have not seen in any of the translations - of which prevailing majority translates that titles as "The small musical band" which reflects the Tango slang language of the early twentieth century.
Carlos Molina - a Colombian Tango master uses a rich orchestration which keeps the slow beat - lending itself more to listening than to dancing even though - according to the comments by this video - some famous dancers like Martha Graham performed their Tango to this particular arrangement. Still for the "normal", ballroom dancers - a bit faster beat would be easier to execute the ballroom moves of Tango.
The video is dedicated to tango3721 - who edits this weekly features - as you will find out when you read the comments by this video which are very interesting. The composer of this famous Tango - An Uruguayan - Matos Rodriguez - made this piece his enormous claim to international fame.
At any rate - enjoy the video plus all the comments and have a good 4th week of April 2017 - everybody! As always keep checking our channel - tango3721 and don't forget to click here next Thursday or Friday of next week to find out which will be our choice of the Video of the Week for next week!
