Since el hondo bajo fondo

Let Melingo, Carajo!
"What will be
Who lives in the ideas of these lovers
Let poets sing wildest
What the prophets swear drunk
What is the pilgrimage of the mutilated
What is in the unhappy
That is the day-to-day whores
the outlaws, the helpless
In every sense, will be
What decéncia não tem, nem nunca tera
O que não tem complaint, nem nunca tera
O que não faz sentido
O que será que será "
(Chico Buarque de Hollanda)

In early spring of 1990 rock and pop to enter fully into the tango, and just in the "y orillero offender."
What is happening in someone's head passing through those streets?
"What I know-meets-Melingo me, I also ask myself. I care more about what's going on in my soul. Meanwhile, the continuous fire"
In songs that Daniel interprets Melingo, paints the whole body and marginalized milongueros several of the hands of poets such as Carlos de la Pua, Celedonio Flores, Enrique Cadicamo, Luis y Julian Centeya Alposta and others of his own composition.

"My answer is the tango-cancion- to Gardel and Ignacio Corsini, Charlo and then continued Fresedo, De Caro, Anibal Troilo Canaro and after, that more milonguero tango, not the dance and orchestral repertoire 40.Nel I'm investigating this "compassion", the phrasing, the purest musicality of tango "orillero" of early novencento. Some texts are fifty years ago, others are written now, because the tango is timeless and universal that in many tangos seems that the passage of time has no effect. "

Melingo is a great musician. He studied at the conservatory but retains little of the academy. E '- and will always be an adventurer-mad, delirious, hallucinating. A bohemian Buenos Aires, or both, of the world. We can call the Master because he was able to achieve humility. Nothing more natural, then, that the laughter of fire of his tangos.
He shatters the boundaries between the sacred and the profane. In these songs there is so much adoration as irreverence. There is a casino of orthodoxy and heresy Tonel. There is ecceso and accuracy. Love and madness.
