YOUR QUESTION

Hi Trevor! I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina and I would like to ask you some questions:
1_ In "Disco Volante" there is a song: "Violenza Domestica" where you can see the bandoneon of the Argentine musician Lisandro Adrover. Do you like tango? Do you have knowledge about orchestras or musicians of this genre?
2_ One of the most famous tango composers is Astor Piazzolla, very resentful in my country for those who did not tolerate his innovation. His grandson, Daniel "Pipi" Piazzolla, has a band that fuses jazz, tango, folklore, called "Escalandrum". What do you know? Very interesting!
3_ I have listened to your "Playlist For The Dead" and I find in it "Las Simples Cosas" interpreted by Chavela Vargas. This song is also sung by an Argentine interpreter: Mercedes Sosa. Do you know her? If you don't know them ... I recommend it! Her voice is beautiful.
4_ In relation to the previous question: the lyrics of "Las Simples Cosas" are from an Argentine poet: Armando Tejada Gómez. Do you speak Spanish or do you understand a little?
5_ You came to Buenos Aires with Mondo Cane and Tomahawk. What memories do you have of my city?
I really appreciate this opportunity, your time and dedication.
I don't know if artists can save the world (it's not their obligation either), but an art like yours saves my life every day.
I send you a lot of love from here, the south of planet earth!
