Tracing Tangueros offers an inside view of Argentine tango music in
the context of the growth and development of the art form's
instrumental and stylistic innovations. Rather than perpetuating
the glamorous worldwide conceptions that often only reflect the
tango that left Argentina nearly 100 years ago, authors Kacey Link
and Kristin Wendland trace tango's historical and stylistic musical
trajectory in Argentina, beginning with the guardia nueva's
crystallization of the genre in the 1920s, moving through tango's
Golden Age (1925-1955), and culminating with the "Music of Buenos
Aires" today. Through the transmission, discussion, examination,
and analysis of primary sources currently unavailable outside of
Argentina, including scores, manuals of style, archival audio/video
recordings, and live video footage of performances and
demonstrations, Link and Wendland frame and define Argentine tango
music as a distinct expression possessing its own musical legacy
and characteristic musical elements. Beginning by establishing a
broad framework of the tango art form, the book proceeds to move
through twelve in-depth profiles of representative tangueros (tango
musicians) within the genre's historical and stylistic trajectory.
Through this focused examination of tangueros and their music, Link
and Wendland show how the dynamic Argentine tango grows from one
tanguero linked to another, and how the composition techniques and
performance practices of each generation are informed by that of
the past.
