Ney, Gracias por poner este video de Portalea. Desde hace mucho tiempo me gusto a él através varios documentarios, pero no sabía su nombre. Y ahora tenemos que llorar la perdida recién de él. Jai
he's ADDING to the melody,singing a love song to his partner with his body.He has a musicians soul,and as with all true tango, he dances for her,and not for the audience.
@MiSebastianT I asked one of my teachers about Portalea's way of dancing/musical intepretation. He told me that all the old milongueros danced in their own way. Nobody taught them that something is correct, or not correct, they didn't pay attention if something is in accord wiith "Urquiza style" or whatever. They just danced the way they felt for a very long time. Portalea's musicality was his own undeniable off-beat-cadencia feeling that you can't judge by others' measures.

Exactly..!!! over the melody...that means so deep into the beat...(sarcastic too...!!)
Estilo villa Urquiza me encanta
me derrite!
"There is no such thing as villa urquiza estilo" Carlos Perez-Berg dixit. Red thumb.
Perhaps Sebastian made the music for Mickey Mouse-pictures.
At least the cymbals.
What is this melody? Anyone knows
