Episode 4: The King of the Beat

In this fourth episode of Tango Music & Poetry Studies, we enter the Golden Era of Argentine tango through the orchestra that brought rhythm back to the dance floor: Juan D'Arienzo. We'll explore how D'Arienzo transformed tango's musical landscape, the revolutionary partnership with pianist Rodolfo Biagi, and the unmistakable pulse that continues to inspire dancers around the world. Through the poetry of Celedonio Flores, Francisco Canaro and Mario Battistella, we'll also discover the many voices of D'Arienzo's orchestra—from the colorful world of the Tango Reo to lyrical reflections on tango itself and the enduring hope found in love. Featuring La Cumparsita, Ataniche, Corrientes y Esmeralda, Tango Brujo and Condesita, this episode offers a journey through the music, poetry and history of one of tango's most influential orchestras.

Episodio 3: La Guardia Nueva

Entre fines del siglo XIX y las primeras décadas del XX, el tango ya había desarrollado una identidad propia. El bandoneón se había instalado para siempre, la voz de Gardel brillaba en el mundo, la poesía tanguera florecía y la danza había conquistado a la alta sociedad europea. Pero el género no se detuvo ahí. La popularidad creciente del tango dio paso a una nueva transformación: la Guardia Nueva. En este episodio, María Olivera nos invita a recorrer una de las etapas más fascinantes del tango —la que cambió su sonido, su poesía y su espíritu. A través de figuras como Francisco Canaro, Enrique Santos Discépolo y Julio De Caro, descubrimos cómo el tango pasó de la picardía barrial a la profundidad filosófica, sentando las bases del arte que hoy seguimos bailando y escuchando.
