Por una cabeza
Per Kleinzach's request, let's have some classic Argentine tangos by Carlos Gardel. There's actually a couple more I'm eyeing, but I just don't feel like uploading, documenting the copyright status, and doing all the setup today, so let's start with this one.

As people will ask about copyright status, Suffice it to say it checks out, but it's all very complicated. It boils down to yes, it was all out of copyright in Argentina in 1996, there were extensions in 1997, but now it's out of copyright again. See if you want to check my work.

It is used in Music of Argentina, Por una cabeza (big surprise), Carlos Gardel, and Alfredo Le Pera.


 * Nominate and support. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 13:30, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Excellent example. (Maybe one song per subject is enough - given that there are so many singers (of all types) that could be documented?). -- Klein zach  22:52, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it's useful to have a few to illustrate the range of the singer or medium. Certainly, featured sounds is not yet overloaded with tangos (n=0). Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 05:19, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You have hundreds, no, thousands, of singers of circa 1900 to 1935 who are unrepresented. Why not work through a checklist? -- Klein zach  06:42, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Copyright law, mainly: Carlos Gardel died tragically young, which helps make the copyright status a bit more unambiguous. For non-Americans (and, for systemic bias reasons, I'm trying to avoid too much America from myself) it's necessary to research copyright law for every country as it comes up. If you care to suggest a few that died before, say, 1938, I'll gladly use your list, though. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 07:10, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. I'll put a list on your talk page. It will be international - mainly European. Is that OK? -- Klein zach  09:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure! Though I'll probably still nominate the one other Carlos Gardel song, as I did the research anyway. But I'll save it for later. =) Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 10:19, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. A very excellent example. Quite nice. Vassyana (talk) 07:33, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
