  • TANGO… the Perfect Vehicle the Dialogues and Sociocultural Circumstances Informing the Emergence and Evolution of Tango Expressions in Paris Since the Late 1970S
    TANGO… The Perfect Vehicle The dialogues and sociocultural circumstances informing the emergence and evolution of tango expressions in Paris since the late 1970s. Alberto Munarriz A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO March 2015 © Alberto Munarriz, 2015 i Abstract This dissertation examines the various dialogues that have shaped the evolution of contemporary tango variants in Paris since the late 1970s. I focus primarily on the work of a number of Argentine composers who went into political exile in the late 1970s and who continue to live abroad. Drawing on the ideas of Russian linguist Mikhail Bakhtin (concepts of dialogic relationships and polyvocality), I explore the creative mechanisms that allowed these and other artists to engage with a multiplicity of seemingly irreconcilable idioms within the framing concept of tango in order to accommodate their own musical needs and inquietudes. In addition, based on fieldwork conducted in Basel, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Gerona, Paris, and Rotterdam, I examine the mechanism through which musicians (some experienced tango players with longstanding ties with the genre, others young performers who have only recently fully embraced tango) engage with these new forms in order to revisit, create or reconstruct a sense of personal or communal identity through their performances and compositions. I argue that these novel expressions are recognized as tango not because of their melodies, harmonies or rhythmic patterns, but because of the ways these features are “musicalized” by the performers. I also argue that it is due to both the musical heterogeneity that shaped early tango expressions in Argentina and the primacy of performance practices in shaping the genre’s sound that contemporary artists have been able to approach tango as a vehicle capable of accommodating the new musical identities resulting from their socially diverse and diasporic realities.

Chapter 2 Another Look at the History of Tango The Intimate Connection of Rural ·and Urban Music in Argentina at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century Julia Chindemi and Pablo Vila Since the late nineteenth century, popular music has actively participated in the formation of different identities in Argentine society, becoming a very relevant discourse in the production, not only of significant subjectivities, but also of emotional and affective agencies. In the imaginary of the majority of Argentines, the tango is identified as "music of the city," fundame ntally linked to the city of Buenos Aires and its neighborhoods. In this imaginary, the music of the capital of the country is distinguished from the music of the provinces (including the province of Buenos Aires), which has been called campera, musica criolla, native, folk music, etc.

  • THE BANDONEÓN by Eduardo Lazarowski
    THE BANDONEÓN By Eduardo Lazarowski “Each 11 of July is celebrated as the National Day of the Bandoneón as homage to the birthday of Aníbal Troilo” … Thus read a headline on a major Argentine newspaper on July 2014. Neither Troilo’s name nor the instrument that contributed to his rising as one of the greatest personalities in tango history are foreign words to tango dancers around the world. But not many tango lovers know the history of the “tango wind box”. So, let’s examine the major technical and historic features of the instrument considered the “soul” of tango music. The bandoneón was invented to substitute the otherwise expensive and not always available church organs in rural communities of north Germany around 1835. Technically, the bandoneón is a portable wind instrument that belongs to the subgroup of “aero-phones” together with the accordion and the concertina, and it is played by depressing a series of buttons (keys) capriciously distributed on the surface of its two side panels. Opening and closing the blower produce the vibration of metal wedges. Professional tango musicians use the so-called achromatic bandoneón, which produce different notes (by the same key) during the opening and closing of the instrument. A standard modern bandoneón has 71 keys (38 and 33 on the right and left panels, respectively), generating 142 voices. The bandoneón owes its name to its inventor, Heinrich Band and the cooperative (Union) created to financially Maestro Julian Hasse performing in Durham NC support its manufacturing. Thus, when the instrument arrived to Buenos Aires, it was phonetically called by its trade-mark label “Band-Union” and the voice soon mutated from bandunión to bandoneón.

He first learnt violin, like his brothers, and then studied piano in local music conservatories. As a teenager, his music accompanied silent films, his professional career beginning in a bar called “Café de la Chancha”.64 Later, he worked as a replacement musician in a number of dance orchestras and then joined the ensemble led by legendary Paquita Bernardo65, where he met violinist Elvino Vardaro, with whom he would later form the Vardaro-Pugliese sextet in 1929. The ensemble was disbanded due to lack of commercial success, but was reformed with a new line-up in 1930, including such luminaries as Alfredo Gobbi on second violin, and with Aníbal Troilo and Ciriaco Ortiz on bandoneon. By the time Pugliese assembled his own orchestra in 1939, he was already a professional pianist of renown who had collaborated with the most outstanding figures and ensembles of the time: Enrique Pollet’s66 sextet, and the orchestras conducted by Pedro Laurenz67, Miguel Caló68 and Pedro Maffia69. He produced his most refined works with his orquesta típica, to which he was devoted exclusively until he died. We will give special attention to this ensemble.

    Carlos di Sarli (pianista, direttore, compositore). Nacque il 7 dicembre del 1903 e morì il 12 gennaio del 1960). Di una famiglia di nove figli, inizialmente vivente a Montévideo e poi a Bahia Blanca, Cayetano Di Sarli cominciò studiando la musica classica al conservatorio dove insegnava uno dei suoi fratelli. Suo padre, Miguel Di Sarli, italiano, aveva avuto tre figli da un primo matrimonio mentre dal secondo , con Serafina Russomano, sorella del tenore Tito Russomano, ne ebbe altri 6, José, Miguel, Nicolás, Domingo, Cayetano y Roque, gli ultimi due nati a Bahia Blanca. A 13 anni, con grande disperazione di suo padre, si integra in un gruppo di "Zarzuela" per girare in varie provincie dell’argentina suonando musica popolare (e qualche tango). Suona anche da solo nei cinema e nelle sale da tè, particolarmente a Santa Rosa, provincia di La Pampa, in un cinema, proprietà di un amico di suo padre, italiano come lui , Mario Manara. In seguito ad un incidente, al giovane Carlos Di Sarli si compromette gravemente la vista, non diventa cieco, ma dovrà portare continuamente degli occhiali neri per tutta la vita e questo gli causerà moltissime e immaginabili difficoltà. Crea nel 1919, a Bahia Blanca, la sua città natale, la sua prima orchestra. Là scrive e suona il suo primo tango "Méditación" che… ahi noi non è mai stato registrato. Nel 1923, giunge a Buenos Aires in compagnia di suo fratello Rocco, e si lega col musicista Alberico Spatola, direttore della “Banda de la policia” di Buenos Aires e parente dei Di Sarli che lo ingaggia insieme al bandoneonista Anselmo Aieta per integrare il suo gruppo.
