La Vita e Bella - Piovani

Homage a Astor Piazzolla

Lazy accordion , sax and  violins create this dreamy tango vibe.

Inspired by street musicians of the past, rainy streets and crumbling architecture. 

It was wanting to produce this track with real instruments that lead to me learning to play melodeon, this was the first tune I managed to squeeze out of the box.



TANGO FANTASTIC (2)

"Zorzal" es un new tango cuya letra y música pertenecen a Fernando Solari. Lo interpretan Fernando Solari en voz y Rodrigo Villar se hace cargo de toda la instrumentación.
Un homenaje a los pájaros del amanecer, a ese símbolo de los porteños (gente de Buenos Aires) que es el zorzal criollo, y al gran Carlos Gardel.
