The film “Tango Bar” starring Carlos Gardel (1890-1935) was released in February 1935.

Four months later Carlos was killed by an accident involving two aircrafts at Olaya Herrera Airport in Medellín, Colombia on Monday, June 24, 1935. The co-author of the majority of his songs, Alfredo Le Pera, and his guitarists, Guillermo Barbieri were also among the casualties. [Wikipedia]

    아르헨티나 부에노스아이레스…

    100년 전에도 저렇게 많은 사람들이 저렇게 큰 배를 타고 다녔다니요…

    이탈리아 사람들이 많이 이주했다고 하더라고요. 3000 Leagues in search of mother, Edmond de Amichis? 소설도 있었지요…

    옛삶의 모습과 100년전 음악을 듣는 게 참 놀랍습니다.

    감사합니다.
