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!).
Tandas we ❤ – Aníbal Troilo (Tango)
This week is a tango tanda by Aníbal Troilo, one of the best Argentine bandoneon players, but also a composer, arranger and bandleader. His orchestra was very popular with dancers during the golden age of tango, although he changed to a concert sound by the late 1950s.
Tandas we ❤ – Enrique Rodriguez (Tango)
This week is a tango tanda by Enrique Rodriguez - the cheeky director who likes to drop the very last note of tangos, hence leaving most dancers hanging half way through their final move.
Tandas we ❤ – Angel D’Agostino (tango)
Today, we picked a tanda by the two "angels", D'agostino and Vagas, with a version of the beautiful song Madreselva, composed by Canaro, and which we translated earlier last week.
