Tango, Callas and Papas with Vangelis: Heating Up This Weekend’s Temporal Warp

by Henry Rosenbush on Feb.05, 2010, under El Cine: Entertainment Section, Obsessive Collector

As the latest temporal warp begins to descend from space I am diverting it from my state to encompass the states of Rhode Island and Georgia only, because, well, it’s my warp and I can direct the energy wherever I chose and I have friends in those areas that need it more than ever. With some music selections to merge my space time continuum into a different stroke I am sharing a few jewels in the dark skies to give solace to those who need it. Music plays an important role in my life and whenever I transcend the borders of the third dimension for higher planes I bring the tunes with me. Tonight I mix the Tangos with Maria Callas and Irene Papas to produce ethereal and unexpected results. Well, unexpected for you perhaps but I know exactly where all this leads….into the 15th Dimemsion.

Starting with a sensual Tango (are there any other kinds?) to get your blood raging through the veins before Maria Callas and Irene Papas sing, respectively, from Carmen and Menousis. These ladies of the muse of song have imparted legacies to the finest art of singing and still give me shivers of joy whenever I hear them. Callas, before a very appreciative live audience in 1962, and a more contemporary Papas tune, with music by Vangelis, takes me back, especially to those familiar with their collaboration in the very early seventies on Aphrodite’s Child 666 allowing the great Greek singer to bring orgasmic pleasure to the album. While not for everyone’s tast, “666″ was - and is - one of my favorite Vangelis vinyls and it took years to find it again after losing it in 1980 to theft. Callas was a favorite of my dad’s and whenever she was on television I sat with both parents and enjoyed her arias and opera stylings even if I needed later translations of what she was singing. So, dear friends, enjoy while the portal remains open from 6:17 p.m. EST Saturday until it begins closing at 1157 p.m. EST Sunday night. I’ll be preparing another warp later this month so tune in again for further details.
