What if the real story of tango isn’t just in the milonga, but in the battle between generations, between rock and roll and bandoneóns, between what we inherit and what we create?In this episode, I sit down with filmmaker Oliver Kolker to talk about his latest film, Tuve el Corazón, a story where tango and rock collide in 1970s Buenos Aires. We dive into why tango almost disappeared during that time, how music carries the weight of history, and why every great film about tango is really a film about life itself.Musicality isn’t just about stepping on the beat—it’s about knowing how to listen and respond.
