Song of the Day Archive

Tango music has always intrigued me because it gets people out of their seats and they move in the most seductive gyrations. It is interesting and mesmerizing. I like this song in particular because there is an electric edge to it. It is not your grandmother’s tango music. It is energized for the younger crowd, who may be into the new trend of dance music, but they want to dance traditional tango. This is where music like this comes to play. It mixes those two loves, and gives listeners and dancers the best of both worlds. The other day, I was talking to a friend who spent a semester abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and she said this music was extremely popular there. After hearing this, I had to listen to more music from Argentina. Argentinian mainstream music is quite a delight to listen to and I recommend it for everybody.

I think all of you will be happily enthralled with music from this popular South American country.  I say this because it is always a good thing to get out of your music bubble and listen to new music from around the world. Hopefully, after listening to this track, you will find a tango dance class or club near you where you jump into this dance craze!

Enjoy the Song of the Day!

Song of the Day – February 14, 2012

Song:”Without You”

Artist: David Guetta featuring Usher

Country of Origin: France/USA

Because it is Valentine’s Day and there is so much love in the air, I tried to find a song about love. Well, there is too many love songs. So I tried to find something on an international level and I came across this one. I chosen this song because it is a dance love song. Instead of slow dancing on Valentine’s Day, you should be grooving with your honey or whoever your Valentine is. David Guetta is known worldwide and his songs are instant club hits with their addictive beats and rhythms, and he always gets the best performers out there now to sing the vocals. In this case, he chose Usher, which I thought was a great choice because he has the vocal range to do justice to the song. The song starts out like a ballad then it speeds into a full dance song. It gives you the best of both worlds. Also the video is awesome because it shows the song can reach various people in places like Thailand, South Africa, Brazil and the USA. I think this is a great song about love and it provides you with a great beat to lead your significant other out to the dance floor.

Whether you are in your living room, bedroom or a club, start playing this song and dance with someone special! Happy Valentine’s Day and enjoy the Song of the Day!
