Good day everyone;

Here is your reminder of Sunday tango. 

In an effort to fine tune our ears to different orchestras, I will feature today the tangos, waltz and milonga of a big influential orchestra…

Juan  D’arienzo. Born December 14, 1900- January 14, 1976 (75 years old)  

Juan D’arienzo style is known for its intensity and accentuated rhythm. His nickname was: El Rey del Compás (king of the beat)

What did he bring different to la década del 40 (decade of the 40’s). He wanted to bring more dancers to the Milonga. By making his tango more rhythmic he achieved that. 
There are many tangos that are called tango Canción (sung tango) non danceable tango where the major role is given to the singer. That is why, we don’t hear Gardel played at the milonga often in spite of being the greatest symbol of tango. Tango Canción (sung tango) are everywhere and continue to be part of the DNA of tango, it is just that they are not danceable. 

By the way D’arienzo uses wonderful singers but you can see how there is a more even distribution between the orchestra and the singer. 
For More on this great orchestra leader check todotango.com

D’arienzo as you can see below, was quite a character. So stay tuned for D’arienzo today. And be ready to spend some extra energy with the king of beat.

By the way, a young group of super talented Argentinian musicians imitate his style and play exactly like him. They are very popular nowadays. It is Called La Juan D’arienzo. 
(See a couple of Utube with D'arienzo conducting)

Other details:

Today is the first Sunday of the month and you can choose to pay for the month and save a little. $55 instead of $65.00  or continue to do the drop in $15.00.
Two classes are $25.00

See you soon,
Marisela
