Home Tango Music About Tango Music
Tango Music is a long and continuing story. Tango Beat breaks it into four parts:

CLASSIC TANGO late 1800s-1955
- The Guardia Vieja (old Guard) of small bands of amateurs playing instrumentals (until 1920s)
- The Guardia Nueva (new Guard) of Gardel, lyrics, De Caro, and professional orchestras (1920s and 30s)
- The Golden Age of orchestras of D'Arienzo, Di Sarli, Pugliese and others (1935-1955).
- And modern orchestras who work to create the same sound.

TANGO NUEVO since 1950s
The jazz and classical influences of Astor Piazzolla. In common usage the term "Tango Nuevo" often means "ElectroTango" music or the style of Tango dancing that incorporates ballet and modern dance influences. There is always something new in Tango, but "Tango Nuevo" is what Piazzolla called his music, so in Tango Beat "Tango Nuevo" means Piazzolla and those who take the Tango into jazz or classical.

ELECTROTANGO since 1999
The urban club sound originated by Gotan Project (France) and explored by Carlos Libedinsky (Narcotango), Otros Aires, Tanghetto, BajoFondo, Electrocutango (Norway) and others

21ST CENTURY TANGO since 2001
The reincarnation of the orquesta tipica by young people originated by Fernández Fierro and explored by El Afronte, Astillero, La Vidu and others. In this music you can often hear a direct connection to Pugliese in the Classical music influence, the throbbing beat, and the frequent use of rubato (an uneven rhythm that speeds up and slows down).

ALTERNATIVE
This is non-Tango music that people dance Tango to.
