Astor Piazzolla redefined Tango in Argentina. He took the music away from velvet drawing rooms and elite concert halls, and slapped it onto the pavements of working class Buenos Aires.
The resulting music is fiercely passionate, filled with driving and pulsating rhythms and violent climaxes that leave the listeners breathless and gasping for more.
Here's the Libertango, interpreted splendidly by Eckart Runge (Cello) and Jacques Ammon (Piano).
