The girl who attracts the Muses of the tango
Perhaps is this Lidia Borda?
The Muses of the tango are with each corner of street in
Buenos Aires. It is only necessary to know to attract them.
These dernieres years appeared to a significant number singers
of tango. The women want to sing and dance the tango. But,
as that arrives everywhere, little are those which manage to attract
the Muses of the mystic ' porteña'.
Lidia Borda was a singer who had flirtait with the jazz but for
several years already, it was given to the tango. It studied
much for its first CD. It was devoted to well understanding and
seizing the kind, the repertory, the nuances, the great
female-intonated voices such that Mercedes Simone, Rosita Quiroga or
Ada Falcon. At the end of a certain time, it decides to record
and chooses a refined repertory, little used by her colleagues.
Melodies of Anselmo Aieta (Between sueños) counted among the traditional ones taken in the repertory
of these large singers.
Bordered begins among the pionnières, it recovers them, the
fact of living again. It learned much from their voices the
mysteries which created the tango and records first extraordinary CD,
which soon will be reedity in Argentina. Now, seven years,
provided later with a strong experiment (in France, one heard it in
2001 in the City of the Music and the National Theatre of Chaillot),
Lidia gathers the Muses of the unforgettable authors in a new work
entitled Tal vez será known voz (is this Can be his voice).
At the time of an abstract conversation, the singer tells some
processes of this work which took time and one can say it: very
waited. The verity is that it was a true artisanal
work, because it is myself which took the responsibility to publish it
of and it is very difficult to have what you requests. I looked
after the details much, as well in the choice of the repertory and
that of the musicians, as graphics and of his realization.
Lidia starts from two essential points in this album:
his copinage and friendly relation with the members of the
Orchestra El Arranque, and its work with the pianist and arranger
Diego Schissi, a talent which currently forms part of one of the best
groups of jazz: Quinteto Urbano.
Sometimes I thought this work like double CD or like two
CDs independent, one which would comprise the evolution of my work
with El Arranque and the other with the piano of Diego, tells us Lidia
Borda, but after me came the idea to make an order where both
premisses can alternate, and I preferred this way
Lidia Borda is the proof that it is not necessary
to have been born in the tango at the same time as in the life.
Its first steps locate it more close to the jazz than tango.
However it took the way of the tango with much of respect and
responsibility. The choice of the repertory is one of the
strongest points of the work of Lidia, which knew to be surrounded of
people who bring the elements necessary to him for the integral
knowledge of each work. It is interested in the circumstances of
their genesis, the time, the artists who enrégistré the topic, the
study of the poet and the type-setter, the study of each partition and
the various ways to attack each part artistically. This work
that few artists oblige to make, gives the difference in quality of
the final result. It sings just, it modulates on original
musical bases and a major knowledge of poetic dimension. Lidia
Borda makes a success of a natural balance and carries great tangos in
an original re-creation.
In my first CD, I was in the years ' 20 and ' 30, us says
Lidia, now I am more close to today, these fantastic tangos created in
the years ' 40 and I hope to find a repertory of new tangos soon to
record them. But, is needed that it is clear, my repertory is
not organized by chronological order but by the pleasure of singing
these melodies and of singing these incredible poets for whom time
does not pass.
This new CD is produced by Ignacio Varchausky, double bass
player and arranger of the Orchestra El Arranque, a marvellous work
and a demonstration, if need be were, that the tango is opened with an
infinitude of possibilities, as long as its chemistry perdure.
