[Tango-L] Piazzolla is not played at Traditional Milongas

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

I didn't really start developing an ear for dance music until I studied with Susana Miller and Robert Hauk.  What I really appreciate about Susana is her directness and clarity.  Very Argentine.

Even though the album, as I said, was not dance music, I still think that it's important to know Piazzolla and Gardel to more fully appreciate the Argentine culture, the change in instruments, the evolution of tango music.  It gives you something with which to further contrast and compare.  Sometimes I like to use Piazzolla for some warm-up exercises.
