Enrique Rodriguez was an amazing Argentine tango composer, quite controversial at times. Born in Buenos Aires, Rodriguez was quite daring when he composed: merging genres, sneaking in cheeky little instruments and refusing to play anything but cheerful or romantic tunes. These admirable risks paid off as he became extremely popular in Argentina and in the remainder of Latin America, although faced criticism by some for his musical choices. |
