The Tango Banter

Ushering the new Golden Age of Tango with Rodolfo Roballos


Listen Later

They say the Golden Age of tango roughly covers 1935-1952 but what made it so... golden?

🤔 Was it the quality and the amount of highly innovative music?
🤔 Was it the high numbers of social dancers dancing all over the city every day and night?
🤔 Was it the high number of dance clubs that hosted milongas at all hours of the day?

Well, ALL OF THE ABOVE!

🤯 Imagine yourself rushing from one milonga to another to catch orchestras such as Pugliese, Di Sarli, or D'Arienzo playing live every day of the week. Imagine having to choose because they are all playing at the same time at different venues!😩  Imagine every milonga packed to the brim with dancers who are all as obsessed as you are. Imagine tango music playing everywhere, wafting through the city from every home radio... That's what it was like during those years.

A tango dancer's paradise I tell you...

🌺 So why did it happen? What triggered this tango frenzy? And could it happen again?
Well, according to Rodolfo Roballos - the director of Academy Tango Club in Buenos Aires - the key to bringing a new Golden Age in tango is training new musicians that form new orchestras, not just in Buenos Aires but in every major city around the world!

🌍 Who knows, maybe somewhere out there in the world is the next Troilo and Rodolfo wants to do everything he can to equip and empower regular people to become tango musicians.
