Golden Age of Tango | Noche de Tango

www.latangoacademy.com/

On this week's show, Charles Olivier explores the Golden Age of Tango and how it created the quintessential sound of the Orquesta Tipica. The Golden Age of Tango was roughly from 1930-1950.  During this time in Buenos Aires, Tango clubs were everywhere one could go and tango orchestras were playing both live and recorded across the radio dial.  This push in popularity was influenced heavily by Juan D'Arienzo and his dancer focused style of tango music.  Listen in to hear D'Arienzo, Roldofo Biagi, Alfredo Gobbi, and others who greatly shaped the Golden Age of Tango.

La Edad de Oro del Tango fue aproximadamente de 1930 a 1950. Durante este tiempo en Buenos Aires, los clubes de tango estaban en todas partes y las orquestas de tango tocaban en vivo y grabadas a través del dial de radio.
