Re: [Tango-L] Piazzolla is not played at Traditional Milongas
I didn't really start developing an ear for dance music until I studied with Susana Miller and Robert Hauk. What I really appreciate about Susana is her directness and clarity. Very Argentine. Even though the album, as I said, was not dance music, I still think that it's important to know Piazzolla and Gardel to more fully appreciate the Argentine culture, the change in instruments, the evolution of tango music. It gives you something with which to further contrast and compare. Sometimes I like to use Piazzolla for some warm-up exercises.

Yes, and a typical tango show reflects this distinction. Sometimes the orchestra plays by itself, sometimes a singer comes on stage and sings a tango, and only maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the time are there dancers on the stage.

Re: [Tango-L] Piazzolla is not played at Traditional Milongas
After the CroMagnon tragedy in 2004, one of the few milongas that was allowed to stay open was Club Espanol. Dany Borelli, the DJ, used Piazzolla as the cortina because all other music was banned. Or rather, for fear of being closed as were most of the milongas, only musica nacional was played. At this time, there were no tandas of tropical or rock 'n roll, because salsa clubs, rock clubs, all other dance venues were closed for months. People flocked to provincia where they could still dance tango. Starving and frantic dancers came to Club Espanol and waited in the lobby to be allowed to enter. The energy was palpable. It was a frenzy.

I'm visiting Buenos Aires right now, and have already had some wonderful evenings with list members. I would love to meet others that live here or may be visiting. If you would be interested in getting together, or meeting at a milonga, please contact me off list. I'm staying in San Telmo, and I'll be here through October. br...@fastpack.com http://www.brickrobbins.com skype: brickster3072 ___ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
