La Típica Melingo - Banlieues Bleues

LA TÍPICA MELINGO
Recorded at the Nouveau Théâtre de Montreuil, April 13th, 2022

The iconoclast Melingo revisits his cursed tangos with a large orchestra typical of the balls of the 40s in Buenos Aires.

He is one of the most fascinating artists of the Argentinean scene. Singer and actor with a hoarse voice, Melingo oscillates on stage between Charlie Chaplin and Tom Waits, and reinvests since a long time the field of the tango, that of the underworld and the bad boys, with sharpened texts , that he propels in the current events. "My role, as an artist, is to put in poetry and in music the forgotten of the society". He returns to Banlieues Bleues with the Orquesta Típica, directed by Maestro Juan Pablo Gallardo, who has arranged the music of the Maestro by reproducing, with a very feminized team, the historical format of the orchestras that made the whole of Buenos Aires dance in the 1940s.
