Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 126 pages; Description: 126 p. : ill. Subjects: Music --Genres and Styles --Pop vocal --History and criticism --Tango (Dance). Summary: Tango creates a shady unreal past that is somehow true," wrote Jorge Luis Borges. Indeed this photographic survey of Tango's first 100 years is essentially an overview of modern Buenos Aires history, as the dance has filtered into Argentina's literature, visual arts, and cuisine. Photographs appear on nearly every page, including children nervously learning the steps, and another in which an elderly couple confidently dance to recall old times. Ricardo García Blaya's bilingual text explains how the mesmerizing and erotic Tango cut across all boundaries of age, race, and social class, as well as being a vital link between the nation's past and present.
