TRACING TANGUEROS CILAM P

Tracing Tangueros offers an inside view of Argentine tango music in the context of the growth and development of the art form's instrumental and stylistic innovations. It first establishes parameters for tango scholarship and then offers ten in-depth profiles of representative tangueros within the genre's historical and stylistic trajectory.

Kacey Link, D.M.A., is a pianist and scholar residing in Southern California. Kristin Wendland, Ph.D., is a Senior Lecturer at Emory University Department of Music. Together they have given lectures and presentations on Argentine tango throughout the United States as invited university guests and for professional societies.
