Ángel Villoldo, a key pioneer in the history of tango. The book explores the genre's transition from its popular roots to the salons of the aristocracy, contextualizing the artist's work within the social landscape of the early twentieth century. Special emphasis is placed on the defense of the female figure in his lyrics, often portraying them as independent and dignified, in contrast to subsequent tango stereotypes of the 1920s.Follow us:YouTube Podcast INTERNATIONAL: @TangoCafe_internationalYouTube Podcast ITALIA: @tangocafeacademyFor more in-depth content, you can also find us here:Spotify INTERNATIONAL: https://open.spotify.com/show/7230BsHYyVMusjFyFkk3GcSpotify ITALIA: https://open.spotify.com/show/6pJS1r9xLVBJ9X8nnYZLkaApple Podcast INTERNATIONAL: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tango-café-international/id1888148821Apple Podcast ITALIA: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tango-café/id1888191091
