The Argentinian Daniel Melingo is a gifted musician, actor and singer from Buenos Aires. But he is just as much a storyteller who incorporates original themes into his equally original music. For example, on (2014) he told about the penose background of the tango and he recorded (2016) takes the guise of a wandering vagabond. He goes in search of his roots at Melingo. His grandfather once moved
… from Greece to Argentina and that is a matter for Melingo to connect the Greek vagabond music rebetika with tango. But with bouzouki's, bandoneons, clarinets and also electronics, he mainly creates his own world in which he tells stories with a growling voice. Melingo is considered a tango artist, but this is only part of his experimental and narrative songs. (MR)more
