Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hay muchas versiones sobre los orígenes del tango: se dice que nació en las orillas, que tardó mucho en ser admitido por la alta sociedad, que se bailaba en los prostíbulos porteños. En este libro, el gran estudioso del tango Héctor Benedetti logra sortear esas imágenes de idealizada marginalidad para analizar el devenir del género, desde el siglo XIX hasta las nuevas expresiones del siglo XXI. Así, construye una historia diferente y original, una obra de referencia que, a contrapelo de la tendencia más extendida, no recae en la sumatoria de biografías elogiosas ni en el esquematismo de las divisiones rígidas. Por el contrario, apuesta a sistematizar y articular un largo curso de acontecimientos y dar su justo lugar a los hechos y personajes más notables. Además de indagar en el momento fundacional, recorre el período de la consolidación del género con la incorporación del bandoneón, la conformación de un repertorio, la aparición de la orquesta típica y las posibilidades de difusión de la industria fonográfica. Explora el pasaje de la Guardia Vieja hacia las nuevas corrientes, y advierte las secuencias de inercia creativa, crisis y renovación que lo marcaron cíclicamente. Sigue las peripecias del tango cantado, desde la intimidad de Mi noche triste hasta el desencanto de Cambalache y más allá; y avanza con preguntas que buscan desarmar ciertos clichés: por qué Carlos Gardel continúa gravitando como un cantor insuperable, por qué los años cuarenta quedaron inscriptos como la "edad de oro", qué formas adoptó el debate entre los músicos más convencionales y los más innovadores, como Héctor Varela y Ástor Piazzolla. Con una prosa entretenida y ocurrente, este libro ofrece un panorama integral y crítico del mundo del tango, que sin duda ayuda a comprender su historia, pero además abre vías para profundizarla sobre bases verdaderamente sólidas.

Book excerpt: In this generously illustrated book, world-renowned Yale art historian Robert Farris Thompson gives us the definitive account of tango, "the fabulous dance of the past hundred years–and the most beautiful, in the opinion of Martha Graham.” Thompson traces tango’s evolution in the nineteenth century under European, Andalusian-Gaucho, and African influences through its representations by Hollywood and dramatizations in dance halls throughout the world. He shows us tango not only as brilliant choreography but also as text, music, art, and philosophy of life. Passionately argued and unparalleled in its research, its synthesis, and its depth of understanding, Tango: The Art History of Love is a monumental achievement.
Download or read book The Tango in the United States written by Carlos G. Groppa and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the earliest years of the 20th century, North American ballroom dancers favored the waltz or the polka. But then a new dance, the tango, broke onto the scene when Vernon and Irene Castle performed it in a Broadway musical. Rudolph Valentino, Arthur Murray, and Xavier Cugat popularized it in the 1920s and 1930s, and thousands of people crowded onto dance floors around the country to hear the music and dance the tango. This work chronicles the history of the tango in the United States, from its antecedents in Argentina, Paris and London to the present day. It covers the dancers, musicians, and composers, and the tango's influence on American music.

Download or read book Tango written by Mike Gonzalez and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born on the unlit streets of Buenos Aires, tango was inspired by the music of European immigrants who crossed the ocean to Argentina, lured by the promise of a better life. It found its home in the city’s marginal districts, where it was embraced and shaped by young men who told stories of prostitutes, petty thieves, and disappointed lovers through its music and movements. Chronicling the stories told through tango’s lyrics, Mike Gonzalez and Marianella Yanes reveal in Tango how the dance went from slumming it in the brothels and cabarets of lower-class Buenos Aires to the ballrooms of Paris, London, Berlin, and beyond. Tracing the evolution of tango, Gonzalez and Yanes set its music, key figures, and the dance itself in their place and time. They describe how it was not until Paris went crazy for tango just before World War I that it became acceptable for middle-class Argentineans to perform the seductive dance, and they explore the renewed enthusiasm with which each new generation has come to it. Telling the sexy, enthralling story of this stylish and dramatic dance, Tango is a book for casual fans and ballroom aficionados alike.
