Homer and Cristina Ladas perform to Trio Garufa's version of "Milonga Uruguaya" during Robin Thomas' milonga "Nocturne" at DanceSport, New York City.
Video by Luis Campos (www.lafabricadeljazz.com, check out his cool Latin Jazz Radio Program!).
"Milonga Uruguaya" was composed in 1967 by Ariel Ramírez, a legendary pianist of Argentine folkloric music, and it evokes a style of milonga traditional from Uruguay.
Trio Garufa's interpretation was done in collaboration with DJ Ben Hester and will be released in the trio's upcoming album (early 2012).
