| Added by lrubarth, 18 Jan 2024 When I first heard a recording of this sad but beautiful tango by the Argentinian poet José María Contursi (1911-1972) and the Argentinian bandoneonist and composer Pedro Láurenz (1902-1972) I instantly fell in love with the the wonderful guitar accompaniment, arranged for two guitars and played by Fabricio Gómez, and I re-arranged it for solo guitar. The lyrics of "Como Dos Extraños" narrate a tale of great disappointment. The protagonist, a waiter from Córdoba, had a romantic affair with a beautiful hostess in Buenos Aires. One night, a man appears in the club, slaps the young woman, and tries to take her away by force. When those present try to stop him, he explains that he was her husband, showing her marriage book, and takes her away. Two years after their dramatic separation, the desperate waiter finds her behind a warehouse counter in Córdoba, but she has changed completely. José María Contursi turned this tragic story into the tango's lyrics, with Pedro Láurenz composing the music. First recorded on June 28, 1940, by Juan Carlos Casas, the song gained popularity and has been interpreted by renowned artists like Floreal Ruiz, Luís Cardei, Pedro Aznar, Adriana Varela, and Litto Nebia. | |||
