Ah yes, I know that video well. Have watched it many times. Zotti is incredible and her footwork is sublime. Yep, not very keen on scratchy tunes myself - I want to hear every note - but some think them more 'authentic'. I think that is pretentious nonsense 
Here is my all time favourite couple - Geraldine and Javier - dancing to my all time favorite melody 'Poema'.
She is a my tango idol - one of the greatest. Feet to die for. I aspire to dance like her.

WOW. Not seen that before. That's cut right through me. It is so very beautiful and I am going to have to study it and try and replicate it. Except I'll learn the lyrics and sing it while dancing milonguero style very close embrace.
But I think it could have done with a few lifts and faffin baht ... and a whirling dervish on acid cameraman.
Here is the karaoke version of Poema with the lyrics. I had a go just now. Hammed up "Adoración" at 1:17 of course. I'll have to request it when I have learnt it.

Here is the English translation
It was a dream of sweet love,
hours of happiness and loving,
it was the poem of yesterday,
that I dreamed,
of gilded colour,
vain chimeras of the heart,
it will not manage to never decipher,
so fleeting nest,
it was a dream of love and adoration.
When the flowers of your rose garden,
bloom again ever so beautiful,
you'll remember my love,
and you will come to know,
all my intense misfortune.
Of that one intoxicating poem,
nothing is left between us,
I say my sad goodbye,
you'll feel the emotion,
of my pain..
