How Many Tango Recordings Are There? Stories on the history of tango music
I have been recently going through the process of structuring my tango library as part of learning to DJ. While working through the orchestras, I became curious about what I thought would be a straightforward question. ‘How many tango recordings are there?’ What I thought would be a simple google search whose answer would fill a quick page turned into a couple month journey into the history of tango music, the history of the recording industry, and the history of Argentina and the world. Luckily, this rabbit hole I fell down is filled with Chessire Cats, Mad Hatters, and interesting adventures which I have tried my best to convey here.
