AquiTango
AquiTango plays the traditional tango as opposed to "tango moderno" or avant-garde style created by Piazzolla which uses jazz idioms and other abstract forms. Few embodied the soul of the older style, often referred to as the "romantic tango," as much as Carlos Gardel whose "Por Una Cabeza" was featured in the films "Scent of a Woman" and "Schindler's List". Free admission.
