Astor Piazzolla



In the years 1950 appears, with all its characteristic, the type-setter, arranger, director and bandoneonist Astor Piazzolla, and it will modify art ' to make tango'.

The dancers are the first diverted by this new style, because of the change in the marking of time. Piazzolla passes from usual the 4/8, an even division of the tempo, to the 3/3/2, a division odd, difficult to control for the dancers of the time.

Piazzolla takes as a starting point the the work of the pianist Osvaldo Pugliese: Negracha, which proposed already these new forms.

At this same period appears, accompanied by its first orchestra, Horacio Salgan, which appears, today still, among the largest musicians of the Tango.
