Without a doubt the most famous song in all of tango, La
Cumparsita was written by Gerardo Hernán Matos Rodríguez from Uruguay
around 100 years ago, give or take a year. I think that it was first recorded
in 1917. Of course, it has gone on to become the most iconic piece of music in
all of South America.
The video above is the tutorial that I'm using to learn this song
on the piano. The pianist, Pablo Keilis was kind enough to send me a copy of his
original arrangement for students of the piano.
Because La Cumparsita is a tango and the tango is a dance I
have posted the video below of two great dancers ripping up this song on the
floor.
