 Chamamé is the name of an Argentinean style of music which originated over 200 years ago and was influenced by European, African and local rhythms. Four contemporary musicians, Chango Spasiuk, who won the BBC s and Radio 3 s newcomer award for world music in 2005, Gicela Méndez Ribeiro, Monchito Merlo and Alberto Bofill introduce us to their versions of Chamamé and allow us access to their lives.
