Tango Musing
BBC Radio programme about Tango

Running straight on from Mark’s excellent find of video clips from the BBC about La Confiteria Ideal, the BBC once again provides us with another informed study into the Argentine Tango.
Noted British conductor Charles Hazlewood’s regular BBC Radio 3 programme “Discovering Music” from March 2008 focuses on the Tango. With help from both the BBC Concert Orchestra and a tango quinteto “Tango Volcano” Hazlewood covers in remarkable detail the music and a history of its development both in Buenos Aires and abroad. We are presented with the concepts behind the structure of the tango music, the instruments, how they are used and the different types of tango (tango, vals and milonga), all while using a good helping of humour.
If you are interested in the music behind the Argentine Tango this is a must listen.
