A rollicking good time! Not another "Celtic clone,"

furious finish. A show-stopper!

l Mi DolorCarlos Marcucci/arr. David Scott.
Mi Dolor ("Sorrow") is one of the most famous
songs to come from Argentina. Almost every
tango orquesta had their own version - like bands
doing covers of Beatles songs today. The lyrics
tell of the great pain the singer feels after his love
leaves him. This arrangement is loosely based
on recordings done in the 1940s by Alfredo De
Angelis and Julio De Caro.
