Jorge Morel: Milonga del Viento - Adam Brown (Classical Guitar)

The contemplative Milonga del Viento features a poignant melody that soars over a syncopated 3+3+2 beat. The Argentine milonga, a precursor to the tango, may be light-hearted in mood but often possesses, as here, a wistful introspection. The Argentine guitarist and composer Jorge Morel (1931- ) lives in New York City. Morel’s compositions often combine the vibrancy of Latin America with daring jazz harmonies. His virtuosic works for guitar are rooted in the colourful folk-music of Argentina, displaying sophisticated rhythmic energy and authentic melodic expression. #milonga #jorgemorel #musicaargentina
