TANGO DEL DESENCUENTRO (Music by Rodrigo Botter Maio & Lyrics by Beatriz Sanchez) feat. LAURA S VALLE (voice) & RODRIGO BOTTER MAIO composition, arrangement & all instruments
Dear friends, I hope you are all doing well!
Here I am posting my video Nr. 135 (since 135 weeks without break) featuring my old friend from Argentina, singer LAURA S VALLE!
This production took around one year, only that you have an idea how much work it brings, but at the same time a lot of fun :-) - Recorded in the USA and Switzerland, filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Slowly we are getting international in our productions :-)
A LITTLE ABOUT THE SONG: Many years ago I wrote a tango (not usual for a Brazilian guy) called TANGO SOLITARIO, in the beginning for violine and piano, after it became a second voice for cello. I am happy that some classic musicians played that. You can play it with any instrument you want. Everything you will find for free in my home page w w w.bottermaio . ch in the sector CHARTS.
After that, my friend BEATRIZ SANCHEZ wrote Lyrics for this tango and it became the new name TANGO DEL DESENCUENTRO.
During that time Laura used to sing in a Tango Group called ARRABAL DE TANGO and they used to play this song, what made me very happy. After so many years, we repeat this in form from a beautiful video and I hope you like it, as much as we do :-)
A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND LAURA: Laura used to live live in Zurich during many years and we become friends. I remember that I was starting with home recording and she came to my place to record some of my songs. One of those songs was this tango. I have that original recording until now, it seems like it was yesterday, but it was many years ago. We also recorded AMORES ETERNOS in Spanish, also the song PALABRAS DE AMOR in a pseudo Salsa. At some point Laura left Switzerland and now she lives in the United States.
I am so happy that she sang this song again and that we made a video together.
For the recording, she went to Buenos Aires to find a nice place for it and her nephew ALEJANDRO ZAPICO filmed her and made a beautiful video work.
So, the main video that you see in the middle is completely done by him.
ABOUT ME AND BEATRIZ: Beatriz is an old friend of mine, from Spain. She used to take flute lessons with me many years ago. She is a big talent writing texts and at some point I showed her some of my songs and invited her to write some Spanish Lyrics, what she did.
She wrote Lyrics for this Tango, also to other songs of mine like the Lullaby EL PAIS DE LOS SUEÑOS, AMORES ETERNOS, COMO EN LOS VIEJOS TIEMPOS - I am not sure about the songs and titles, this was many years ago :-)
I hope you like the video the same way as we do and if so, please send this link to your friends, thanks!
I wish you all the best and see you soon in the next production.
Rodrigo, Zurich on March 25th 2023
