LecturesTienda HarrodsHowever surprising, Brazilian tango exists and its charming history is closely related to the presence of African descendants in that country.
Humberto Araujo, a renowned saxophonist, arranger, researcher and, since a couple of months ago, Under-Secretary of Culture of Rio de Janeiro, will give a lecture on this fascinating subgenre, aided with music pieces.

Tango Salón
FilmsTienda HarrodsBokova celebrates the lives of the tangueros and tangueras, old milongueros, local and foreign dancers of all ages, all of whom share stories of tango and love.
At the Confitería Ideal, there is an atmosphere of eternal romance, haunted by the old 20s orchestras and the melodies of the tango ensembles that echoed between its columns in the 40s and 50s, and the dreams of poets who were reinventing the world at their tables.

Gatherings of CollectorsTienda HarrodsThe history of phonography. Lost albums on extinct formats
Following last year’s experience, the other two gatherings of collectors will be coordinated by researcher and teacher Gabriel Soria, the vice presdent of the Academia Nacional del Tango (Tango National Academy). The collectors will be talking about their extensive experience in treasuring albums, and the audience will delight in the sound of historic pieces in their original formats. The first meeting will deal with the art of recording, with the guest presence of José Soler, a musician, violinist and recording engineer of the Odeón studio since the fifties. He was the technical engineer of the orchestras of Osvaldo Pugliese, Alfredo De Angelis, Aníbal Troilo, Roberto Firpo and Francisco Canaro. He will be recounting anecdotes about those years when the great classics were being recorded. The second session will feature the participation of Héctor Lucci, a collector of phonographic devices and cylinders, and Bruno Cespi, who boasts a massive collection of photographs and scores. Lost recordings on different formats will be played and discussed by them and a group of fellow collectors.
