Milonga Triste - Blues from the pampas - Atahualpa Yupanqui

Back


Atahualpa Yupanqui (1908-1992) is regarded as the greatest interpreter of Argentinian folklore. As a singer, guitarist, composer and poet he left us works which bring us closer to the musical soul of South America. He was born in the Argentinian pampas, about 200km away from Buones Aires. Baptized Hector Roberto Chavero Aramburu, he later adopted - in a bow to two legendary Inca kings - the stage name Atahualpa Yupanqui which became famous around the world. This milonga, although a dance, is full of melancholy of the wide open pampas...my use of the word blues is tongue in cheek of course... and a South American song needs a fitting hat called "the optimo"... This song was composed by H. Manzi and Sebastian Piana
