Mini-episode - Ástor Piazzolla
from Why Tango Podcast · host Why Tango and Adam Tully
Adam and Heyni couldn´t leave Piazzolla out of this first seasson… What is his music really about? 🎶The Piazzolla phenomenon: the bandoneonist, the innovator, the rule-breaker who turned tango into something the world had never heard before.Was he anti-dance? Absolutely. Was he still 100% tango? Without a doubt. From his years with Troilo to his studies in France and the creation of Nuevo Tango, Piazzolla fought for a music that was uncompromisingly his own.Join them as they explore why his quintet sounds so good, why non-tango musicians sound so different when they play his music, and why that music has always been so controversial and so beloved.Playlist:Decarísimo - Astor Piazzolla QuintetEl desbande - Astor Piazzolla's 1946 OrchestraOur hosts: Adam Tully & Heyni SoleraTheme music: La Tomajena by Shino OhnagaInterstitial music: Lo que de ellas, sigue en nosotras by La RantifusaOur home: Why tangoOur instagram: Why tangoOur email: [email protected] phone number: (+1) 212-942-6854Production: Sol Linares for TANGOdeHOYWhy Tango is a production of TANGOdeHOY and Penny Productions.
