I have been talking to someone at recent milonga, and someone has asked me, if I get tired of dancing to the same old tangos. My answer was no: the mood, the partner change the emotional meaning of the dance all the time. Besides that, there are a lot of classic tangos I have never had a chance to dance to yet. I have couple thousands recordings by various tango dance orchestras from the golden age of tango myself -- most of them I had never heard played at milongas.
Thinking about his question has piqued my curiosity though. Does anyone know how many arrangements have been recorded by all tango dance orchestras in the period from the late twenties to the fifties? ~20,000; 50,000; 100,000...? -- Oleh Kovalchuke Argentine Tango : Connection, Balance, Rhythm http://tangospring.com _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
