Chango Spasiuk – Tarefero de mis Pagos [Sounds from the red land] (2004)

 

Accordion master Chango Spasiuk has come to be seen as the guardian angel of Chamamé, the most influential champion of the ‘music with the deepest swing in Argentina’. In many ways his contribution to the revitalisation of these folk traditions can be compared to the influence that his fellow countryman Astor Piazzolla has had in the contemporary development of Tango. After 6 local albums, ‘Tarefero’ is his first original international release, produced in Buenos Aires.
