At Carlos Gardel we can find several aspects as well as an important matter of this Universe which is the tango.

With him the way of the song opens and with there the heart of Argentinian will be able to start to say the man and his adventure to be a citizen of a new nation.

The emotions are evoked: love, sadness.
The states of heart find a place of expression: nostalgia,melancholy, dream.
The proximity is named: the friends, the district, court of the conventillo, these houses on some floors where the new immigrants piled up.

At Gardel there is also almost all the set of themes of poetry tango: humour, the sex, impossible love, the memory of the woman, buddies, play....

It is the first myth of this culture, and extremely probably will only remain.

In Gardel there are spaces which allowed the tango: BuenosAires and France. This wire of Toulouse A grows in Buenos Aires.

This book of Montenegro Flora traces the course of Gardel and, very wisely, proposes to us the text (in Spanish and French) of 25 tangos of the repertory of Gardel accompanied by an explanatory note.

With through the various chapters of the book the author brings us on the road of this so particular and so astonishing history.

Supplements this work Cd with the 25 described topics, sung by Gardel.
