Goyeneche - El Polaco

-
I got my Goyeneche CD in the mail last night. It was a delight to listen to it. The CD has 12 tracks and all of them are good. Some of them stand out as my favorites. Tristeza De La Calle Corrientes, Torrente, Homero Al Sur, and Suerte Loca are for sure impressive. El Polaco is not for the dance floor, but I can't get enough of his music when I am at home practicing or just listening to music. I was going to write a post about each song and then their translations, but that seems like A LOT of work. These songs have amazing lyrics and somehow some lines just keep resurfacing in my head when I am listening to them. Pure poetry with a touch of humor and sarcasm, even when talking about love.

How can someone be so good and write the most beautiful songs? I need to understand Italian better, but what I know and feel with his songs is beyond anything material.  The power of art has to move us. That streng
