as I imagine you collect, I’d like to ask you for a couple of songs by Edgardo Donato i’ve not been able to find. Those are:

Qué hacés, Ciriaco
La muerte de Milonguita

I finally found the Sentimiento Gaucho version I wrote you about. Feel free to email me if you want it. Cheers.

Your link is interesting, I will go and have a look when I have more time. It’s in Spanish so I need double time and effort to read.

I think you can listen to the audio materials directly from my blog, maybe you need Quicktime to play, same for downloading. If you’re asking for full song, then I’m really sorry as for legal matters I cannot post full songs on my website.

I don’t have information on the three songs you mentioned.

cheers,

Very interesting. I didn’t know the version. Thank you for noting the intervals, I’m trying to learn a little bit of harmony.
May I ask you, is there a way to download the music you’re posting or to listen to it?
I teach tango, and I’m studying a lot, and your material here is very difficult to get. I’ve started to fill up the music tags on the files I’ve got. I’ve started with Canaro with Ada Falcon, and these are all of her edited song.

I couldn’t get three songs that haven’t been edited, those are “Sentimiento gaucho” (duet with Ramos), “Tahy” (a fado), and “Como anillo al dedo” (not the version with Charlo).
I hope you’ll like it in the case you didn’t have any of Ada’ssongs, which I doubt, but anyways.
Thank you for “La tupungatina”!!!!

Taking bandoneon class is rather easy and convenient. You don’t need to have a bandoneon, the bandoneon teacher usually has one for his student for taking classes.

But buying bandoneon in BA now is complicated. A law just passed last year in November to forbidden bandoneon older than 50? (forgot the exact year) years old to leave Argentina. I have no clue how the law has been carrying out, and none of the people I know had ever tried to bring a bandoneon out of the country since the law is passed. So maybe you can still buy a bandoneon, but bring it back to Singapore might not be possible.

I never recommend people to buy instrument online without trying the instrument themselves. But unfortunately, that might be the only option for you, if buying a bandoneon in Argentina is not possible (unless you opt for a brand new one). In Germany there’re many bandoneons for sale on ebay, but most of them do not have the same fingering system as the Argentinian ones. If you really want to get it through ebay, check carefully.

If you will go to Bs.As. later this year. I suggest you to take few bandoneon classes and see if you like it first. Then talk to your bandoneon teacher and he should be able to advice you on how to get the instrument.

Me and my family plan to do a trip to Argentina end of this year, in which i hope to get one week of the trip for a bandoneon class and buy bandoneon.

Or do you recommend buying a bandoneon from germany from ebay?
