Argentine Tango for beginners

Learning Argentine Tango is a unique experience for each individual. That is why we recommend private lessons to beginners.

Starting with private lessons as a newcomer to Argentine Tango is highly beneficial. The personalized attention, customized learning pace, and focused skill development offered in private lessons will significantly accelerate the learning process. Additionally, private lessons provide a safe and comfortable environment for building confidence and preparing for semi-private (small group) classes or social dances (milongas). While they may come at a higher cost, individualized instruction can significantly contribute to a solid foundation in Argentine Tango.

We offer a 10% discount on our private lessons to new students. Please contact us to receive a 10% discount promotion code.

"El encopao" by Anibal Troilo y su orquesta Típica with Francisco Fiorentino in vocals, 1942.

Enrique Dizeo

Lyricist (July 26, 1893 - May 6, 1980)

His inclination towards popular poetry, which he approached out of instinct, sensitivity, natural and awakened intelligence, had its early expressions at a center with artistic pretensions in a carnival outfit where he made his first rhymed scribbles. Precisely through this outfit, his first tango was born, and it reached popularity: “Romántico bulincito”, with music by Augusto Gentile. From then on, his passion and his profession was Tango.

He succeeded in handling a language that has a close relationship with lunfardo, where what has to do with town is merged with the things of the outskirts in harmonic alloy, to offer paintings and expressions of an authentic porteño character.

Enrique Domingo Cadícamo

(July 15, 1900 – December 3, 1999)

He was a prolific Argentine Tango lyricist, poet, and novelist.

From an initial Symbolist bent, he developed a distinctive, lunfardo-rich style from an early age, and by 1925 he had his first piece, “Pompas de jabón”, sung by Carlos Gardel.

Other notable compositions include “Madame Ivonne”, “Che, papusa, oí”, “Anclado en París”, “Muñeca brava”, “Pa' que bailen los muchachos”, “Los mareados”, and the song we share with you today, "Dice un refrán”, with music by Ángel D’Agostino.

Troilo, Anibal

"Pichuco"-"El Bandoneón Mayor de Buenos Aires"

Bandoneon player, leader, and composer.

(July 11, 1914 - May 18, 1975)

It is said that he had something from Pedro Maffia. Still, suppose someone has influenced his way of playing, in the form of developing a conversation on the bandoneon, in his touching capacity when delaying notes in his phrasing. In that case, this one has been Ciriaco Ortiz. He played slightly bent forward; eyes closed, his double chin hanging. Sometime later, he remarked: «It is said that I am very often moved and that I cry. Yes, it is true. But I never do these things for trivial reasons».

"Nueve de Julio" by Juan D'Arienzo y su Orquesta Típica, 1935.

José Luis Padula

Guitarist, pianist, composer, and leader.

(October 30, 1893 - June 12, 1945)

This musician son of immigrants, born in the northern province of Tucumán, delved into tango and folk music. His father was Italian, he transferred to him his inclination for music.

As a child, he played harmonica and guitar. Unfortunately, he became an orphan at age 12, and he didn't have the support of his mother. About her, very little is known. Therefore, being still very young, he went out to the streets to work for a living.

He had the idea of attaching his harmonica to the guitar. He fixed it to a stick fastened by a belt to the upper part of the instrument, and so it reached his mouth.

The curiosity that such a combination woke up in people, added to his musical intuition and his facility for melody, allowed him to travel throughout his province and other neighboring places until arriving in Rosario city, in the province of Santa Fe. Continue reading at www.todotango.com...
