There's something about the tango that brings even more emotion out of the lyrics.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Argentine tango is very special to me because it's full of sensuality. The chemistry between the man and woman is absolutely stunning.
I've always wanted to learn the Argentine tango.
The tango is really a combination of many cultures, though it eventually became the national music of Argentina.
Love is not the dying moan of a distant violin - it's the triumphant twang of a bedspring.
The waltz can be sad and at the same time uplifting. You have to see life from both sides, and the waltz encapsulates that. If you're in my audience you give yourself to me and the waltz will grab you.
Having a very serious thematic element in the lyrics and then juxtaposing with something really triumphant and just a big beat to dance to is a nice contrast to having a dark message.
Tango was very popular in Panama at the time when I was growing up. In the Fifties in Panama, the radio stations played all types of music.
The emotion of a song's lyrics has always been what grabs me deeply.
Even though I had pushed through the Tango album, it was just not a very good environment to be in on a daily basis. In many ways, this is the best time of my life.
Just the words and melody - that's what moves your emotions.
