| ARTICLES RELATED TO Ástor Piazzolla | | | |  Ástor Piazzolla: Encyclopedia II - Ástor Piazzolla - HistoryBorn in Argentina in 1921, Piazzolla spent most of his childhood with his family in New York City. While there, he acquired fluency in four languages: Spanish, English, French, and Italian. He also started playing the bandoneon, quickly rising to the status of child prodigy. While still quite young, he met Carlos Gardel, another great figure of Argentine tango.

| | | | Ástor Piazzolla: Encyclopedia II - Tango music - Tango nuevo The later age of tango has been dominated by Ástor Piazzolla, who became famous after Carlos Gardel's El dia que me quieras was released. During the 1950s, Piazzolla consciously tried to make a pop form of tango, earning the derision of purists and old-time performers. The 1970s saw Buenos Aires developed a fusion of jazz and tango, alongside tango-rock, mixing tango with rock and roll. Litto Nebbia and Siglo XX were especially popular in this development. In recent years is important the work of argentine band 020 (zero2zero), whose epic album "End of Illusions" mixed pop and ...

| | | | Ástor Piazzolla: Encyclopedia II - Tango music - 1920s and 1930s Carlos Gardel Tango soon became the first of many Latin dance crazes to gain popularity in Europe, beginning in France. Superstar Rudolph Valentino soon became a sex symbol who brought the tango to new audiences, especially in the United States, due to his sensual depictions of the dance on film. In the 1920s, tango moved out of the lower-class brothels and became a more respectable form of music and dance. Bandleaders like Roberto Firpo and Francisco Canaro dropped the flute and added a double bass in its place. Lyrics were still typically macho, blaming women for countless hear ...

| | | | Ástor Piazzolla: Encyclopedia II - Ástor Piazzolla - Music Piazzolla's nuevo tango was distinct from the traditional tango in its incorporation of elements of jazz, its use of extended harmonies and dissonance, its use of counterpoint, and its ventures into extended compositional forms. Piazzolla also introduced new instruments that were not used in the traditional tango, including the flute, saxophone, electric guitar, electronic instruments, and a full jazz/rock drum kit.
