First draft

2023

Inspiration:

The Tupamaro Guerillas, Maria Esther Gilio (on freedom fighters in Uruguay)

The Driving Ambition of Edda Mussolini, Helen Lashbrook (biography of Mussolini’s daughter)

The Country Between Us, Carolyn Forché (poems about 1970s Nicaragua)

Golden Age (1930s-1950s) versions of the tango compositions used throughout have stood the test of time

and are still played at milongas (tango dances) today.
