Canciones de amor folklore argentino

The 100 Best Argentine Folk Songs

There is a reason why El Amor Después del Amor became the best-selling album in the history of Argentine rock: it is full of gems, and the title track represents the essence of soul. "El amor..." speaks of the arrival of a luminous moment, "that looks like this ray of sunshine", after a period in the shadows. The reason this song shines so brightly is that it symbolizes hope after a distressing time of heartbreak. It conveys a message of peace with oneself amidst a bright rhythm with touches of new wave.

Released in 1985 as part of his second studio album, Giros, "Yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón" is one of Fito Paez's most recognized and emblematic songs, a powerful anthem of hope to stand us up in the darkest of times. "Who said that all is lost? I come to offer my heart", begins (and ends) this rosarina/pop trova, which is also one of the most covered songs of the Argentine rocker. Mercedes Sosa, Eugenia León, Milton Nascimento and Gilberto Gil, and Tania Libertad are just some of the artists who have recorded it.

Estrada, a native of Veracruz, Mexico, is the daughter of Luthiers, master craftsmen, string instrument makers. And it was precisely them who made the Venezuelan cuatro with which she plays today and performs some of her songs.

"One fine day I found my dad's cuatro," he says. "I found the cuatro I had never paid attention to and I grabbed it. I started playing it and fell in love. The first day I played it I did my first song formally, without knowing anything about cuatro harmony. I didn't know what the notes were, I didn't know anything. I think it sounded so beautiful to me that [it was] like I fell madly in love," he explains.

"Tristeza is a song where I talk to sadness to see it head on, [to] live it, [to] not run away from sadness, because I think it's a very important feeling, but to embrace it so that it goes away and joy, happiness, peace arrive," he says.

"One fine day I sat down and said I can't be like this, I can't be sad anymore because this is my new city! This is my new home. Either I adapt or I leave because the city is not going to adapt to me. And I finished the song and Tristeza remained. It's really like a song that seeks other things beyond sadness," Estrada explains.

Jealousy has always been a source of many conflicts and songs, but none as beautiful as this waltz composed by Pablo Rodriguez and despite its Argentine origin it has been performed by Mexican singers after becoming famous in the voice of his wife Mercedes Simone, the female Gardel as she was called, who interpreted it masterfully with orchestra, bandoneon and that clean voice that enriched it.
