Arntzen, Kees (Composer)
Description:
This text was found in an antiquarian bookshop in Avenida de Maya in the heart of Buenos Aires. It builds upon the lines from a song by the famous tanguero Carlos Gardell who died in an aircrash in Colombia in the thirties. The son of the poet gave his permission to use this poetry for musical purposes. Together with texts by Borges, Neruda, Lorca and Cendoya this song forms the complete cycle ‘Oda a la guitarra’.
