From: Jack Dylan <[email protected]> wrote ? I agree that Gardel is a good place to start and then go through Tango's evolution with special emphasis on the Golden Age. Finish off with Piazzolla and a little Nuevo, while stressing the continued importance of music from the Golden Age. ?
Music from the "Golden Age" is for dancing, and if you are not dancing, it is probably less interesting than a lot of the other works of tango Tango is everywhere here in Buenos Aires, but in the metropolitan area of 13 million of the city of tango, maybe 7-10.000 people do the dance, so the dance angle really isn't that important to the general public. Have a listen to Radio 2x4 http://delicast.com/radio/Argentina/tango/La_2x4_FM they have a great program that spans all tango, not just the stuff we love to dance to. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
