This song mingles klezmer and tango in a soulful tribute to the people of Argentina, where the song of the immigrant continues to lift up the spirit to new heights. As I lived in Argentina in for 2 years it was imminent that this piece had to be on the album.

Mark (Belgium - April 2, 1968) formed his band in October 2001. He had written 6 compositions based on his 4 year stay in South America and was eager to record those feelings on tape. The resulting album 'Impresiones', released in the US on August 10, 2004, is a work full of emotion. It travels from jazz to world, from folk to classical, from ambient to soundtrack.
'Impresiones' has been rewarded with major media attention which resulted in numerous radio broadcastings worldwide. In the famous GarageBand.com charts his song 'Patagonia' reached #21 while 'A Bokher Un A Meydl' charted #5 in the World section.
