Here you’ll as much information about tango music, tango orchestras as we could get our hands on. There are also a few biographies of some of the major tango artists from the Golden Age. And, last but not least: full tandas that we have sometimes played at los Angelitos. This section is like a treasure hunt, go on digging, go on clicking, you’ll always end up on a nice bit of music or information (we think!).
Tango music & tandas special: When did tango start to talk?
The first tango with written lyrics is widely thought to be "Dame la lata", composed by Juan Perez around 1880.
El choclo, not your usual corn cob…
"El Choclo" ("The Corn Cob"), written by lyricist, composer and musician Ángel Villoldo, is one of these tangos that made history. Actually, you've probably danced on El Choclo, more often than you think!
