[Tango-L] Tango Music

[Krasimir Stoyanov]

Igor, I am talking solely of compositions - there are very fine new 
orchestras today.

Even in Belgrade, see www.beltango.com

Let alone Fernandez Fiero . . .

Or Color Tango, or many others.

Yes, I like some of Gill's compositions.

Then, you can listen to this

Still, most of the new compositions are absolutely fine (and some are 
masterpieces). BUT, for LISTENING. There is practically nothing that you can 
dance to, with no preparation, in a milonga.

Because 1 or 2, or 10, or even 20 compositions (where are they?) for ten 
years is practically nothing.

Today composers miss one important thing - that they must compose for the 
dancers, not for listeners alone.
