In the smoke of a bar,
in any place,

today is a sad shadow
that lives off liquor.

This instrumental narrative accentuates the unspoken yet palpable connection between diverse worlds through music.

The composition likely uses traditional tango elements infused with subtle hints of Japanese musical influence. This can signify the melding of different traditions, showcasing how music can transcend geographical and cultural boundaries, creating a universal language understood by all.


Buenos Aires – Tokio in Historic Context

Recorded in 1966, a time of significant global transformation and cultural exchange, “Buenos Aires – Tokio” by Julián Plaza might have been an artistic reflection on the burgeoning relationships between different world regions during the 1960s. Argentina, with its rich history of European influences and its own unique culture, offers an interesting juxtaposition to Japan, which was rapidly modernizing and becoming a significant player on the world stage during this period.
