FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Tracing Tangueros offers an inside view of Argentine tango music in the context of the growth and development of the art forms instrumental and stylistic innovations. Rather than perpetuating the glamorous worldwide conceptions that often only reflect the tango that left Argentina nearly 100 years ago, authors Kacey Link and Kristin Wendland trace tangos historical and stylistic musical trajectory in Argentina, beginning with the guardia nuevascrystallization of the genre in the 1920s, moving through tangos Golden Age (1932-1955), and culminating with the "Music of Buenos Aires" today. Through the transmission, discussion, examination, and analysis ofprimary sources currently unavailable outside of Argentina, including scores, manuals of style, archival audio/video recordings, and live video footage of performances and demonstrations, Link and Wendland frame and define Argentine tango music as a distinct expression possessing its own musical legacy and characteristic musical elements.Beginning by establishing a broad framework of the tango art form, the book proceeds to move through twelve in-depth profiles ofrepresentative tangueros (tango musicians) within the genres historical and stylistic trajectory.

Befitting the subject matter, Kacey Link and Kristin Wendland offer intellectually intimate and provocative research articulated in a uniquely graceful and elegant prose."--Juan Chattah, University of Miami - Frost School of Music"Tracing Tangueros is an excellent introduction to the knowledge, comprehension and study of instrumental tango music. The book offers precise information about the genre to those who are outside the tango world. However, those who are deeply involved with the genre will find challenging ideas about how tango is seen and valued worldwide. Listeners and dancers, musicians and scholars will find it most useful and a good read."--Omar GarciaBrunelli, Instituto Nacional de Musicologia "Carlos Vega", Buenos Aires, Argentina"This book will perhaps be of most value and interest to practitioners seeking to understand better how to perform, arrange, or create tango music." --Music and Letters"Taken in conjunction with material on its website, Tracing Tangueros enriches understanding of a uniquely Argentine cultural phenomenon." --Dance Research Long Description Tracing Tangueros offers an inside view of Argentine tango music in the context of the growth and development of the art forms instrumental and stylistic innovations.
