Tango y Cabaret - Casak - Del Mazo
LecturesTienda HarrodsA good deal of the heyday of the typical orchestras in the 1940s and 1950s went by in the semidarkness of cabarets, heering up those nights of tango and dance. From Chantecler to Tibidabo, a whole mythology was born, which later extended to the lyrics, the cinema, the low life of “Milonguita” and the memories of those who witnessed the activity of the two nightclubs. However, his legend still mystifies us. How was the everyday life of the tango musicians in the cabaret? Were families allowed? Which were the emblematic orchestras in each venue? Was the admission unaffordable? Focusing on the indissoluble relationship between tango and cabaret in the forties and fifties, this lecture coordinated by journalists Mariano del Mazo and Andrés Casak gathered the musicians and researchers who can shed light on a topic that is as fascinating as it is hazy. Juan Carlos Godoy will be livening up the occasion with his songs.
