Practice Music

Below are some Yahoo playlists that I have put together for you to listen to as you practice your Argentine Tango. These playlists are also good for getting to know the music of each of the major orchestras of Argentine Tango.

Juan D'Arienzo Practice Playlist
This collection of practice music is by Juan D'Arienzo. D'Arienzo was known as the "King of the Beat." His music is very rhythmic and has a strong steady beat for dancing. His music might not be as complex or as elegant as some, but what it might lack in some areas, it makes up for in energy and drive.

A Brief History of Argentine Tango by Clint Rauscher and Shelley Brooks

 Version 1.0 - May 2014

 
The concept of this performance is to show a progression of Argentine Tango from its early days up to today, demonstrating different rhythms, embraces and styles. 
 
Performance Notes: This was our first time attempting this performance. I finished editing the music on Thursday and we performed it the very next night, at the Spoleto Tango weekend in Charleston, Sc. This performance was completely improvised, Shelley did not even know which songs I had decided on prior to the performance. Since this was our first time attempting this performance, we appreciate any constructive criticism that you might have for making it better. We want to fine tune this concept and perform it again in the near future.
