"World music needs larger-than-life characters, so Daniel Melingo, an Argentine troubadour no longer in the first flush of youth, is a gift. Imagine a proud hybrid of Paolo Conte and Ian Dury, with the facial mannerisms of a silent-film heavy. This is a performer who bows deeply at the end of each bittersweet item; who grabs a clarinet to play the hookline to a rollicking song; who plays "air trombone" while his talented multi-instrumentalist plays a real one; who even takes off one shoe and holds it to his ear like a mobile phone while walking off stage. (He reappears barefoot, balancing his socks on his forehead.)
