Shameless self-promotion subsection.
A singer of tango from Montevideo, Uruguay.
Vayo: Al Filo de la Noche
(Did you know that Argentina and Uruguay have argued for years over which side of the basin boundary it was that the tango really originated? I didn't until recently. Everyone admits the real origins are nearly lost to time, but currently, the trend among music historians is to begin re-exmaining the mythology that the tango originated in brothels and to look farther afield. Those researchers might indeed find roots elsewhere or determine the tango originated in brothels, but in the meantime it keeps them off the streets and out of trouble.)
