Vito Sputnik will recreate a “Milonga”: a traditional social event from Argentina where the attendants meet to listen and dance tango.

The event will start with a beginner’s tango lesson lead by Agustina Taborda, in which she will teach the first movements and the body language needed to share this dance with another person.

During and after the lesson we will play selections of recordings from different iconic Orquestas Típicas, such as Juan D’arienzo, Osvaldo Pugliese and Carlos di Sarli. The audience will be invited to dance or just to sit, have a drink and listen. 

The piano was incorporated early into tango formations. It accompanied the development of the genre throughout the 20th century and was nourished at that time by new resources, styles and particular forms of execution. In Orquestas Típicas, due to its versatility, it can perform both accompaniment and melodic functions. It is undoubtedly one of the pillars of tango music. Great exponents and directors of the genre –such as Osvaldo Pugliese, Horacio Salgán, Carlos Di Sarli, among others– were pianists.

The objective of this workshop is to address some aspects that characterise the piano in tango and to provide some stylistic resources to play this unique music.

Lead by Ernesto Inouye.
