cafe music in the milonga 2 Hello everyone! But I do not agree on much of what was said by Graziano:
"Now it is true that the tango has deep roots in
time and must be slowly introduced new songs to experience as many new sounds, but it seems to me which ultimately is being distorted a bit 'too much. "
Dear Graziano, what you call distortion I call it evolution. According to your reasoning, even the tango would be a "distortion" of the milonga and milonga a "distortion" of the African Candombe. Ergo, if he had remained loyal and attached to the tradition today not to dance tango! Contamination, testing and the merging of various kinds with all its developments have always brought benefits, wealth, diversity and culture. I appreciate the traditional tangos but I like it a lot more electronic and tango nuevo. In this regard, since it often creates confusion, it should make a clarification: For those few who still do not know you want to tango nuevo music by Piazzolla on. Pitch was the first who had the courage to "dare" a reinterpretation of the classic tango using instruments, sounds and rhythms different from those used until then. The artist was harshly criticized home to this very serious "lack of respect", but later legitimize and praise him only after he had achieved great success abroad following somewhat the same fate that had suffered several decades before the tango, opposed, criticized and considered a dance too licentious and then against the morals of the usual bigoted, but then reinstated, re-evaluated and developed to make the ultimate symbol of Argentina and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2009.
"Most young people who do not know the sacred monsters of the music of Argentina, might confuse a fine ballad Ivano Fossati, such as music created just for dancing, even if this is false. No one can explain to them that good
Fossati, had no intention to create a tango. But also who will explain them Troilus Annibal played tangos composed and genuine, and inimitable, and that unfortunately can rarely dance in the milonga? If it goes on like this we'll end up dancing to the songs Ramazzotti "
younger people, who will also be young but they are not stupid, I guess we know that the pieces of Fossati, Gian Maria Testa, Carmen Consuls or Evanescence songs are not specially made to be danced in tango milonga and how, if they so choose, they can learn to better understand the history of the tango and all of its authors, but this can not be a tax, much less be a necessary task of Musicalizadores or teachers of dance. Fortunately, today there are many tools we can use to get correct information and get an idea of \u200b\u200bour world around us and we should not wait for somebody to explain. Even those who too often tries to explain the historical events, arts and culture of our company does inevitably filtering through their opinions and their beliefs.
Likewise today we have the possibility to choose, according to our tastes, where to go dancing. There are only tradicional milongas where they fit and where other pieces of tango nuevo or electronic form. We have a valuable tool: free will. What bothers me however is the savage criticism he often feels against all kinds of different opinions, or against those who want to try out new paths by the type a bit stale. I once heard a famous milonga musicalizador Bologna who, after putting a piece of nuevo tango, to express their dissent, added at the end of the audio file of the sound of a flushing toilet. In addition to this "fine", which speaks volumes about the tolerance of some certain issues and education about the subject, I believe that no one should presume to be the only keeper of absolute truth.
So, as far as I'm concerned, utmost respect for various Troilo, Di Sarli, D'Arienzo, Pugliese, etc. which gave us unique and unforgettable as that proposed by you but I think that the tango can and should be even more! A hug, Marco.
