After a picaresque and provocative beginning, the first years of the 20th Century turned it melancholic and bleak.<\/strong> It was the times of the legendary Carlos Gardel, who took it to Paris and then enjoyed a triumphal return to Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n Undoubtedly, the 40\u2019s<\/strong> were the golden age of tango<\/strong>.

Young people rediscovered its old lyrics and, as inheritors of Piazzolla’s legacy, undertook the task of experimenting on the basis of tango.<\/p>\n
