Song of the Day – February 24, 2012
Posted by The Student Globe Trotter
Song: “Pa’ Bailar (Fiesta Tanguera-Electronica)
Artist: Bajofondo
Country of Origin: Argentina
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!
