(Astor Piazzolla) Libertango - Sungha Jung

Sungha plays ’Libertango’ arranged by Sungkyu Kim. Libertango is a composition by tango composer Ástor Piazzolla, published in 1974. The title is a portmanteau merging “Libertad“ (Spanish for liberty) and “Tango“, symbolizing Piazzolla’s break from Classical Tango to Tango Nuevo.[1] Grace Jones’s song I’ve Seen That Face Before (Libertango) uses the same music, as does Jazz Mandolin Project’s song “Jungle Tango“, Guy Marchand’s song “Moi je suis tango“ and Kati Kovács’s song Hívlak. In 2002, a re-recording of Libertango appeared on Australian/British classical crossover string quartet Bond second album “Shine“. Also Libertango was played by the famous guitarist Al Di Meola in his 2000 album The Grande Passion and by the world-renowned cellist, YoYo Ma, in his 1997 album, Soul of the Tango: The Music of Ástor Piazzolla.
