MUSIC TO LEARN TO:

People often ask about music that is easy to practice to for those staring out. In the Absolute Beginners class we usually play music from the early 1930's by the following orchestras: Canaro, Carabelli, Lomuto, Di Sarli and Orquesta Tipica Victor

There are plenty of tunes to choose from that era. Here are a few to get you started :
Orquesta Francisco Canaro
- Pampa
- Gloria
- Tiempos Viejos
- Cogote
Orquesta Adolpho Carabelli
- Cantando
- Mi Refugio
- Alma
Orquesta Tipica Victor
- El Choclo
- Domingo
Orquesta Francisco Lomuto
- Bacán Fulero
- Lagrimitas
- Cicatrices
​
We also frequently play instrumental tunes by Carlos di Sarli from the 1950's which have a much grander sound. Here are some examples that are good for those at the beginning of their tango journey:
- El Choclo
- El Once
- Champagne Tango
