Summary

Tango developed amid Buenos Aires’s tenement-district immigrant communities, its music, lyrics, and dance reflecting the experiences of these working men who built the city. This book examines tango as a popular expression of their socio-political conditions.

El tango se desplegó en el centro de una sociedad específica compuesta por una masa de inmigrantes que se aglomeraba en los conventillos porteños. Fue tomando diferentes medios de expresión: la música, la canción y la danza, sin letras en sus comienzos, pero enunciando un importante número de sensaciones de todos aquellos hombres de trabajo que iban convirtiendo a Buenos Aires en la gran urbe. Gustavo Varela nos muestra al tango como una expresión popular cuya raíz es social y política. Nos trae, además de los temas que identificaban a aquellos hombres, la cara gráfica de esas primeras composiciones, prostibularias, alegres, dramáticas, nostálgicas y sentimentales. Una pasión, la del tango, ilustrada con las tapas de las partituras antiguas, que exponen los aspectos psicológicos y sociales de aquellos individuos de las primeras décadas que, en una de las ciudades más cosmopolitas de la época, dieron nacimiento al tango.
