Nobody likes to follow rules. It is much better to break them. But there is
one thing that tops breaking rules: making them. D'Arienzo was a rule maker.
In 1935 he invented the orchestra for tango dancing. Just at a time when it
was needed. And he kept his success for forty years. The details of what
Juancito's process of discovery of his identity was like are lost in the
mists of time. It is certain that D'Arienzo would have preferred this loss
of memories of this transition, so that his orchestra would be forever
remembered as an expression of an eternal essence that does not change or
evolve.
