Cancionrs DE Tango

Tango has long become more than the popular Argentine urban dance which developed after 1870 in the poor working class and immigrant areas on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. Tango has aficionados worldwide – be it for its music, culture or the dance. On New Year’s Eve 2006, conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim, Argentinean by birth and upbringing, celebrated the end of the year with a spectacular musical event: a festival of Argentinean music live from Buenos Aires. In a seamless fusion of classical and traditional music, the Orquesta Filarmónica de Buenos Aires under Barenboim joined the excellent bandoneon virtuoso Leopoldo Federico and his Orquesta Tipica to present an extraordinary show with popular tangos and Latin American orchestra classics to a crowd of 10,000 in a free open-air concert at the Plaza de la República.

Si sos brujo: una historia de tango (A Tango Story) - by Caroline Neal (2005)

Si Sos Brujo is a heartfelt, inspiring film that could do for Argentine Tango what the Buena Vista Social Club did for the music and musicians of Cuba illuminating an evolving culture, a way of life and the triumph of preserving one of the most intricate musical traditions of the world, following nearly 50 years of relative obscurity.

Album released in Argentina performed by the Argentine musician and pianist Jorge S. Arduh (Córdoba, 1924) leading his Argentina Typical Orchestra and singers, accompanied vocally by Marcelo Santos, Javier Di Ciriaco and Carlos Soler. Arduh formed his own group in early 1950. His first artistic tour was made in 1951, and thereafter the recognition as 'fantastic keyboard', 'brilliant rhythm orchestra' and 'Crazy Rhythm' that accompanied him on his great success during 27 years continuously. Arduh took leave of the stage in 2009 at 85 years at the Teatro del Libertador in his hometown.
