Gustavo Santaolalla has produced a documentary film in which he invited all the great musicians and singers of tango to record a CD. The film includes Emilio Balcarce, Carlos Garcia, Atilio Stampone, Jose Libertella, Osvaldo Berlinghieri, Horacio Salgan, Leopoldo Federico, Virginia Luque, Lagrima Rios, Alberto Podesta, Juan Carlos Godoy, Osvaldo Requena, Fernando Suarez Paz, Emilio de la Pena, Oscar Ferrari, Nelly Omar, Ubaldo de Lio, Mariano Mores--the who's who of tango, all still living with the exception of Libertella. No one is younger than 70.
A short preview of this documentary has been shown during the year on the Film & Arts channel in Buenos Aires. Santaolalla is preserving an important history of tango from which all future tango musicians can benefit. Santaolalla won an Oscar for his music in the movie Brokeback Mountain. The premiere of Cafe de los Maestros will take place at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires on August 24. www.tangodata.gov.ar
