Nobody likes to follow rules. It is much better to break them. But
 there is
one thing that tops breaking rules: making them. D'Arienzo was a rule
 maker.
In 1935 he invented the orchestra for tango dancing. Just at a time
 when it
was needed. And he kept his success for forty years. The details of
 what
Juancito's process of discovery of his identity was like are lost in
 the
mists of time. It is certain that D'Arienzo would have preferred this
 loss
of memories of this transition, so that his orchestra would be forever
remembered as an expression of an eternal essence that does not change
 or
evolve.
