Episode 25 of Tangos Despreciados, a tango program by Richard Frisart and Chris Zaal. Today, focusing on the De Caro school, the Decarismo: complex, avant-garde music, which isn’t always easy music to dance to.
The music movement initiated by De Caro is best described as the evolutionary school of tango music, because talented, emerging musicians like Cobián, Maffia, Laurenz, Ortiz, Vardaro, Troilo, and Pugliese didn’t merely obediently follow De Caro, but continued to develop and innovate tango music.
