It comes from a wild environment, where rain forests, rivers and falls, hot temperatures and frequent rains keep man in a constant romance and struggle with nature. It is the northeast of Argentia, it is a part of SOuth Brazil.

The senses are wide open in these lands, where Chamame comes from. The colours are intense, the shapes are unique, the sounds of nature, of water falls, or birds singing, rivers running, the texture of the land, every detail penetrates the human senses constantly - and that is in the music!

So Chamame can be happy and sad music, at the same time, with as much feeling as swing. Chamame is mysterious, its name has not translation or explanation, as mysterious as the feelings that provokes the people who hear it. It can become a shout or scream, but always touching deep into the heart.

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 de mis Pagos“ is his first original international release. It was produced for Piranha Records on location in Buenos Aires by Ben Mandelson.]]>Chamame Crudohttp://changospasiuk.afropopshop.org/#album_123902005-04-12T10:55:32ZMusic from Chamame CrudoA virtuoso accordionist, 'El Chango' has become its guardian angel, his role being compared to that of his compatriot Astor Piazzolla who added jazz elements and a classical note to the Tango. It's music with the deepest swing in Argentina, a heady mixture of rural polka and tango, 'a fight between joy and melancholy' as Chango describes it.
