The Magic of the Greek Language -- in a Spanish Song

This oldie by an Argentinian musical group called Apurimac, featuring Greek singer Elli Paspala, is the living proof that there indeed are thousands of Greek words in every language.

Apurimac created this song, entitled “My Last Tango in Athens” which has almost every lyric in the Greek language, back in 2012.

Only the refrain of the song, which could be translated as following, is in Spanish: “This is my last tango in Athens. A sorrowful tango running through my veins. This is my last tango in Athens.”

Argentinian composer Daniel Armando recounted during an interview with the radio show “Ellinofrenia” that he had received the inspiration to write the song during a trip to Cuba after he entered a book store and found a book entitled “17,000 Greek words in the Spanish language.”

The group Apurimac, which in the Quechua indigenous language of South America means “God of Speech,” was formed in 1983, and a number of their songs use Greek lyrics.

They collaborated in 2000 with Vassilis Papakonstantinou, George Dalaras and others to produce a CD for the Doctors Without Borders organization titled “No Borders.”

За полтора километра спуска из под облаков и прохлады попадешь в сухую пыльную жару. Апуримак становится всё больше с каждым новым витком тропы. А на другой стороне открывается классный вид на проделанный путь:) Тот по которому предстоит подниматься, кстати, выглядит почти так же, только зигзагов больше😂 #aroundtheworldmoments #Apurimac #Peru #lovePeru #SouthAmerica #Перу #ЮжнаяАмерика Наш инстаграм: https://instagram.com/soundaroundme/ #путешествие #trip #travel #путешествия #путешествуем #туризм #турист #туристы #поездка #путешественник #кругосветка #traveling #travelgram #exploring

"I Skouna" / Apurimac

Year: 2008

Country: 🇬🇷 (Greece)

Genre: Mambo / Rumba / Salsa / Caporal

An incredible album by this Greek musical group formed in the 80's that transports you from the first second to Latin America, flying over the Andean valleys, the Amazon jungle and taking a good ride through the Caribbean. The most interesting thing about this album is that it's full of "plot twists": you start listening to a song thinking it's a typical song of x musical genre and, when you get used to it, they introduce the surprise. By the way, Latin genre songs sung in Greek sounds really good.

Fave song ⭐: "Baila Caporal"

La piedra de Saywite es un gran bloque de granito con una serie de complejas y misteriosas figuras. El monolito contiene más de doscientas figuras fitomorfas, zoomorfas, de accidentes geográficos y construcciones humanas talladas en un aparente desorden y aprovechando los relieves y depresiones naturales de la piedra.
