Dear listeros
I read the postings of Oleh's visit to Buenos Aires, and they were amusing . From all the possibilities , he choose a good one, to have a kind of "Alfa tango station " with the following modules
Module Zivals : cd source
Modules El beso and Porteno y Bailarin : Two blocks from Zivals, and one block one each other
Module food : all along corrientes and callao avenue , where there are plenty of food services, one of them , a chain of pizza stores called "la continental " that serve also excellent salads, to be "assembled" at your prefered vegetables.
I suggest for next tangonauts to arrive to Buenos Aires, to use this excellent platform chosen by Oleh , with two EVA ( extra vehicular activity) from the radio
EVA 1: Bartolome Mitre 1759 near Callao, El Arranque milonga, specially saturday evening, with Mimi Santapa and her friendly lessons
EVA2: Lo de Celia, at Entre Rios and Humberto 1ro, not so far from the area just some more blocks
Let s see now when we have our first lady tangonaut :):)
Warm regards
Alberto Gesualdi

Google this.
"The St. Louis Blues tango"
One of the first hits will be a link to an NPR sound clip.
I seemed to remember that WC Handy included a tango
section in the first published blues composition in the US.
That was 1914.
Guess I didn't dream it.
We've "talked" about the hugely popular "Blue Tango" from
about 1950.
How about "TeenAge Tango" recorded by some of the guys
from Bill Haley's Comets?
OK. Not exactly early 20th century, but, I just had to share.

Nina,
Tango was the most popular dance in Europe from 1920 till 1950 and longer.
my uncle danced tango every weekend in 1950-1955 at parties at their house.
I know a woman who remembered dancing tango in Paris in 1944-1946. I knew a
man who danced tango in Ireland in 1920s 5 days a week !
I know that there was a lot of records of German, French, Polish, Russian
orchestras with good tangos. It seems to me Argentinean records got their
way to the European dance parties either. I have no idea that some of the
musicians were from Argentina. Probably not after 1930. Before - yes - even
Canaro was in Paris, right?
Where are those records
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a handful remained.
Does anyone know about video of tango dance of the period 1910-1930
????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it seems to me the music was slightly different ( reminding of salon
Argentine Tangos of 1920s period ) and the dancing was probably different
either. But only videos could tell more about it.
How about America? Armstrong introduced a little of Tango in one of his
earlier pieces. He wouldn't do it if it would be popular at some period
there.
Does anyone knows about other american tango records?
