[TANGO-L] Tango DJs

[Bugs Bunny <bugsbunny1959 @HOTMAIL.COM>]

Music might be a good thread for community building. I've seen differing,
extremely strongly held opinions, cause unhelpful behavior, fractures, bad
feelings. I've seen it on this list. Some of which I'm sure I've been apart
of. Lots of dancers are open to lots of different music. Ask them. It
doesn't make sense to say that Tango should only be one era of music &
hardly anything else. I hope that there is a Megallan/Einstein of
sound-engineering quietly working away somewhere on the fidelity issues of
the Golden Age. I can only imagine how wonderful it must have been to dance
to the music live years ago.

If there isn't room for such beautiful music as the following, that speaks
to my soul & is so satisfying to express through dancing/my_partner, than
I'm not sure if I would want to be apart of Tango.

Here's some of what I've been listening & dancing to. There's more, late
Troilo, DeSarli & lots of others.  All post-Golden age. Listen to the sound
quality of the bandoneons, strings, bass, keyboards of Color Tango
Orchestra's "A Evaristo Carriego" or "la mariposa" or DeAngelis "mi dolor" &
'pavadita", to how it fills a room. It is so incredibly beautiful. An open
mind & imagination go a long way. I'm not suggesting pitching the golden
age, just more variety. Most dancers will respond favorably. People that
throw tantrums & give ultimatums, will have a golden opportunity to do some
soul-searching & learn something about themselves. More to come...

PS: I'm not an expert on this music yet, but I know people locally that are.
Some can probably pick a few nits here & there, but I'm learning.
