Lecture -RecitalJuan José Castro composed Tangos for piano in 1941. Perhaps, this is the first work for piano by a major Argentinean art-music composer that includes tango rhythm. Each tango describes a male character associated with the Argentine tango, exploring the musical, social, and cultural representation of these characters. The first piece in the set "Evocación" (Evocation) serves as an introduction to the following four tangos. In an impressionistic and improvisatory manner, Castro evokes the famous tango La Cumparsita. The second piece "Llorón" (Whiner) portrays a common character of tango's lyrics: a male whining, crying, and complaining about politics, family, and love. The third one is "Compadrón" and despite political implications, compadre, compadrito, and compadrón refer to the hero or anti-hero of the neighborhoods who eventually becomes a fighter, robber, or killer. The fourth one "Milongero" refers to the character that likes to party and dance milongas, a dance from the Pampas which is believed that later developed into the tango. In this case, Castro used a two-part invention-like to stress the dance implications of the milonga. Finally, "Nostálgico" (Nostalgic) is another character that emerges in most tangos, someone who is unsatisfied and always remembers better times. In this piece, Castro evokes a traditional tango, Nueve de Julio, and in the coda he imitates the dry sound of the bandoneón through descending full chords. (c) 2006 Oscar E. Macchioni 5.

In the last ten years, perhaps more than ever, the Argentine tango has kept the attention of composers, performers, recording companies, film makers, and audiences all over the world. There are two major periods of time when the tango enjoyed international attention. The first period, in the early 1900's, was driven by the general fever for the exotic, supported by the world fairs, as well as by radio broadcasting and the development of the transportation, film, printing and recording industries. The second period, in the 1980's, was driven almost exclusively by the entertainment industry. The purpose of this article is to analyze the cultural and social misrepresentation of Argentine culture looking at early American tango sheet music. The analysis is based on the Sam DeVincent Collection of illustrated sheet music at the Smithsonian Institution. The collection contains more than 130,000 illustrated sheet music from around 1790 to 1980. Within the collection there are approximately one hundred tango pieces. Most of these sheets are illustrated, which opens the opportunity to analyze their iconography and evaluate how Americans exoticized popular foreign music and transformed it to meet their social, cultural, and entertainment needs. The years of publication for most of the tangos are between 1909 and 1953. (c) 2003 Oscar E. Macchioni 5.
