The sound of the great orchestras of the 1940s — what sets them apart, and how to hear and dance their character.
W11 and W12 require a command of the techniques from W7 to W10.
Osvaldo Pugliese
1905–1995 · piano
The dramatic pulse. “La Yumba” as his trademark — heavy, earthy, with pauses that let the dance breathe.
Aníbal Troilo
1914–1975 · bandoneon
“Pichuco” — the singing bandoneon. Lyrical and danceable at once; the young Piazzolla played in his orchestra.
Carlos Di Sarli
1903–1960 · piano
“El Señor del Tango”. Elegance and an even flow carried by the strings — the bandoneon deliberately steps back.
Alfredo Gobbi
1912–1965 · violin
“El violín romántico del tango”. Angular phrasing and surprising turns — an orchestra for attentive ears.
About Joaquín Amenábar
Joaquín Amenábar's workshops teach no steps and no figures. He works with listening, movement and intuition, plays his musical examples live on the bandoneon and does without musical jargon. No musical knowledge is needed — the exercises are designed so that everyone can work on them at their own level of dancing. The workshops are taught in German.
