El Tango - Vinyl recording (33 1/3 RPM)

Descripción

Astor Piazzolla wanted to see the music of his quintet accepted by the world of tango and also by that of academic music. In the case of Jorge Luis Borges, it was never known if he aspired or not to another kind of recognition than he had. The certain thing is that, if the advantages were clear that had for the bandoneonist to work with the poet, was instead a mystery why Borges decided to write those simple, beautiful, letters of milongas. The year is 1965 and a record called El Tango is recorded. A record with all the characteristics to become historical: Piazzolla music, lyrics by Borges, the voice of Edmundo Rivero on sung songs and that of actor Luis Medina Castro as a recitalist. And that gives rise to two other mysteries. The first of them is that, although some of their songs, like the perfect "Jacinto Chiclana", are incorporated into the repertoire and the collective imaginary, El tango never becomes a success. The second has to do with its virtual disappearance of the Piazzolla record catalog when, potentially, it offered all the possibilities to become a commercial phenomenon. Having the names of Borges, Piazzolla and Rivero in the same title was not disdainful for a record label, not even in 1965. And much less when the Argentine culture ended up recognizing, above the discussions of the moment, the musician and the writer as its maximum representatives. N° de ref. del artículo 24023092
