I agree that Gardel is a good place to start and then go through
Tango's evolution
with special emphasis on the Golden Age. Finish off with Piazzolla and
a little Nuevo,
while stressing the continued importance of music from the Golden Age.

Music from the "Golden Age" is for dancing, and if you are not
dancing, it is probably less interesting than a lot of the other works
of tango

Tango is everywhere here in Buenos Aires, but in the metropolitan area
of 13 million of the city of tango, maybe 7-10.000 people do the
dance, so the dance angle really isn't that important to the general
public.

Have a listen to Radio 2x4 http://delicast.com/radio/Argentina/tango/La_2x4_FM

they have a great program that spans all tango, not just the stuff we
love to dance to.
