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!).

52 years ago, we said goodbye to Francisco Canaro…
Over time, Francisco Canaro became such a significant part of tango, that referring to him became part of common language in Argentina. In the 1950's, a radio program coined a phrase to refer to any extremely old event: "When Canaro already had his orchestra". Another popular say was: "He's got more money than Canaro".
