......and it is this song
loudly or ugly sang
that gives comfort to how it went
from 'la Violeta'
More than a hundred years ago, millions of Europeans took refuge on the banks of the Rio de la Plata. They embarked on the adventure and traveled to an unknown destination in search of a better life. The confrontation with the present population and culture resulted in a new music and dance form: the Tango.
With their own translations of old and new Argentine tango songs and with their own compositions, Kees Scholten, Margreet Markerink and Emmy Storms take you to a world of harbor bars, tenement houses, brothels and to the soul of people who have the courage to leave. Feel homesick for what is left behind. Fiery and passionate, but also brought with humor. Stories of illusions, adventure, love, failures and frustration.
