Calexico Burdon & Takim ~ Roll Tango
During their tour in Greece last summer, Calexico undertook to enrich the orchestration in a demo that had sent their John Convertino for their next album, “Edge of the sun“. Originally they asked the help of the complex Takim which specializes in traditional Greek music and like this song had a different style! But history also became more interesting when one of the festival involved the two complexes in Greece, participated in the great, Eric Burdon, who also recorded vocals for the song.

Watch the strong man turn aside and
