Each country in South America has, over the centuries, produced varied popular traditions and distinctive dance rhythms. These include the vivacious and zestful Brazilian choro, as well as the Argentinian tango, of which we hear an example from “the father of the tango,” Ángel Villoldo. French composer Roland Dyens contributes Brésils, his refined tribute to the musical landscape of Brazil. The Guitalian Quartet have arranged Arturo Márquez’s popular Danzón No. 2 along with several other vibrant and evocative pieces from Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico.
