Yo me Voy a Uruguay

This is a piece called "Uruguay" composed by Aleksey Igudesman.
Now yes, Igudesman is very well aware that the "traditional" music in Uruguay is different. You have Tangos and Milongas, much like in Argentina. He has been there several times, loved the people and loved the music. The point is, he writes in his own style, which in this case happens to be Jewish-Russian-Latin American-weird mix.
He is also aware that it can get cold in winter, which is Europes summer and the other way round, or something.

Just because Igudesman sings something, it doesnt have to be the truth. As some people might have noticed, he uses "humour" which can ocassionally result in bending of facts.

And last but not least, he did love being there, thats why he wrote the song and performed it there and in other parts of the world in front of many people who seem to enjoy it.

Its better than writing an "authentic" Tango (this being a dance that is not authentic in the first place, since it is inspired by many cultures) or Milonga and saying that Uruguay is crap, don't you think?

Anyway, he extends his greetings to all the wonderful people of Uruguay, Uganda and Utopia and wants to say two things:
Piece. And Love. And Happiness. Sorry, three things: Piece, love, happiness and contentment. Four things...

JOHANN & ALEKSEY
Strauss in Russia, Igudesman in Vienna

Live from the Konzerthaus, Vienna

"On his summer trips, Johann Strauss was often seen strolling with Maria Olgovna, Aleksey Igudesmans great-great-grandmother in the Pavlovsk Forest. Although Strauss spoke no Russian and Maria no German, a deep, spiritual bond formed between them. The unexpected birth of Maria's illegitimate child has led to great speculation."

Is Aleksey Igudesman really Strauss great-great-grandson? We dont know. However, both share a unique feeling for harmony, melody and humor. Although over 100 years separate them stylistically and historically, Igudesmans compositions seem to be have a similar spirit to Strauss's unforgetable works. Igudesmans performs works by Johann Strauss as well as own composition, such as works, such as "New Years Polka", "Bulgarian Waltz and "Crazy Bell Polka".
