La Ligamos was written by Argentinian guitarist Claudio Camisassa (b. 1957). The form is Milonga, a musical genre that originated in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Milonga has a syncopated beat. It was derived from an earlier style of singing known as the payada de contrapunto. Over time, dance steps and other musical influences were added, eventually contributing to the rise of tango. The piece is one of RCM (The Royal Conservatory of Music) Grade 5 Repertoire.
