Single of the Week: Carlos Gardel
Posted on September 13, 2007This week we have a very special single of the week. Special ‘cuz you get this song for free. Carlos Gardel was one of the most prominent figures in the history of Tango. An actor and singer, he wrote hundreds of tangos that are still performed today. He died in a plane crash at the age of 45, during the height of his career, creating the image of a tragic hero. Today’s single, “Madreselva”, is perhaps best known for its prominent use in the Italian film Il Postino, and because it’s a damn good song. I feel confident in posting the mp3 because it was recorded over 75 years ago and in another country, so it’s pretty much RIAA proof. Enjoy.
