Rawson is a Tango written by Gabriel Clausi and composed by Eduardo Arolas.
The lyrics of “Rawson” recount a nostalgic journey through the narrator’s past life experiences in his neighborhood, marked by moments of both joy and pain. The song reflects on the melancholy associated with lost love and the bittersweet memories of youthful days. The essence of the Tango lies in its emotional depth where reminiscence plays a central role, highlighting a specific time and place that hold significant personal value to the speaker.
The Tango is rich in symbolism, often illustrating deeper meanings through its narrative. For instance, phrases like “fue un destello que embriagó” (it was a dazzle that intoxicated) and “fue la luna la hechicera” (it was the moon the enchantress) enhance the mystical quality of the memories, attributing almost magical characteristics to the moments of the past. The repeated reference to a corner, dark eyes, and stolen kisses imbue the Tango with a tangible sense of place and fleeting moments of intimacy and loss. The symbolic use of these elements conjures vivid imagery that deeply resonates on an emotional level, portraying the blend of love, nostalgia, and sorrow that defines the character of the Tango.
Composed in 1936, “Rawson” emerges during a period of profound cultural richness in Argentina where Tango was not just a dance but an expression of deeper societal narratives. This period was marked by political and social shifts, and Tangos often captured the essence of the communal sentiment. Rawson, as a Tango, provides a lens through which the personal is juxtaposed against the backdrop of wider cultural movements, encapsulating the personal impacts of broader societal changes. The name “Rawson” itself may refer to a specific location or context within Argentina, potentially adding layers of geographical nostalgia and identity to the piece.
Gabriel Clausi, recognized as “Pichuco”, was a prominent figure in the Argentine Tango scene, known for his emotive compositions and contributions to the genre.
