Es una antigua costumbre del sud (It’s an old southern custom) is an instrumental Tango composed by .
Imagine stepping into a vibrant gathering in an old southern town where the lingering warmth of tradition dances through the air with each soulful step. As the first notes of the instrumental piece spill out from the orchestra, a sense of nostalgia coupled with the rhythmic murmur of tango takes center stage. The rich and velvety tones of the bandoneón conjure vivid images of cobbled streets alive beneath the enchantment of moonlit nights. Each instrument layers the melody like strands of stories woven through time, transporting the listener back to an era where passion and grace dictated the language of movement. This tango captures the essence of those long-standing customs, moving hearts just as much today as in times past.
Osvaldo Fresedo, a stalwart in the realm of tango orchestras, brings “Es una antigua costumbre del sud” to life with a seamless blend of elegance and fervor. Embodying the spirit of the southern tradition, Fresedo’s orchestra channels the warmth and intensity of the tango, a testament to its well-crafted instrumentation and emotive dynamics. Fresedo, who had been a part of the tango scene for decades by 1935, infuses each performance with his characteristic suave style, ensuring that the music resonates with both the current and past generations of tango enthusiasts. The piece remains a homage to the continuous heartbeat of tango, echoing through time under Fresedo’s masterful direction.
