توضیحات
Why does an empty piano with a single red carnation still appear on tango stages? How did a bus driver become one of tango's greatest voices? And why was Francisco Canaro's first violin made from an oil can?Every tango you dance was shaped by real people. There were musicians who defied their families, and singers discovered in the most unlikely places. Poets turned heartbreak into lyrics, and dancers changed the embrace forever. The Legends of Argentine Tango brings 131 of their stories to life in short chapters you can read in a few minutes: between tandas, on the way to a milonga, or before bed.Inside, you will discover:The student who composed La Cumparsita on a cardboard keyboardHow Julio Martel got his stage name from a glass of cognacThe boy Carlos Gardel invited on tour, whose parents said no, and why that "no" may have saved Astor Piazzolla's lifeThe singer Osvaldo Pugliese found asleep on a billiard tableThe tango star who was also a gynecologistCarmencita Calderón, still waiting to be asked to dance at 100The grandfather who became an international tango star at 57These stories have been passed from mouth to ear for generations, in milongas, cafés and late-night conversations. They are shared here for the curious dancer who wants to know who made this dance what it is today. The book closes with a different kind of story: a real night at a milonga, first told in the author's book Tangofulness.For social dancers, teachers, DJs and anyone who loves Argentine tango. It's also a thoughtful gift for the tanguero or tanguera in your life.Discover the people behind the music you dance to.
