Synopsis

Note: this book now has a 2nd edition (ISBN: 978-1-9997551-5-7; ASIN: 1999755154). This is the 1st edition. The listing remains so you can read the reviews.
Aníbal Troilo (1914–1975) played the bandoneon with such feeling that he became revered as the most expressive player of the instrument. In 1937 he formed his own orchestra, rapidly establishing it as one of the greatest in the golden age of tango. The hallmarks of this orchestra were its vibrant sound, its ability to deliver a lyric, and the colour and shading in its music, something which Troilo and his musicians explored more and more throughout the 1940s.
In this book, the first in a series called Tango Masters, Michael Lavocah (author of Tango Stories, Musical Secrets) explains Troilo’s music to the modern dancing public. He introduces the musicians in the orchestra, helping you to hear them within the music, and then takes you through the dance recordings, paying special attention to the relationship between the music and the lyrics – a key factor to understanding this orchestra. Incorporating an invaluable discography, Tango Masters: Aníbal Troilo allows the reader to follow Troilo’s journey as his music grows in sophistication, learning how to listen, and thus to feel, with more understanding and depth.

Biographie de l'auteur

Michael Lavocah was absorbed by tango music from his first encounter with it. More than twenty years study of the subject, as a dancer, teacher, DJ and collector has provided him with an in-depth knowledge of this unique musical heritage. A natural raconteur, Michael is always sharing his knowledge of the music with anyone who will listen. This led to his popular talks on tango music and then in 2012 to his first book 'Tango Stories, Musical Secrets', which immediately established itself as the book for tango dancers wanting a guide to tango music. The guide has been translated into German, Spanish and French. Michael runs the tango music website milonga.co.uk and teaches and DJs tango internationally. He is a long time practitioner of Tai Chi and the Taoist arts. He lives in England.
