At a milonga last night the DJ mirrored his computer screen to a largeTV on the back wall (because he was asked too-the TV was already there). It showed his playlist and the current song info and album cover. He is worried that it might be too distracting but people seemed to appreciate and enjoy it. And, I think most learned a few things.

During covid i bought and read some books covering the timeline of specific orchestras and that helped a lot. (the books of series of Tango master by Michael Lavocah is hughly recomended). I found it very helpful because even the same orchestra can have different sound from oeriod to period and listenig to them in chronological order makes so much more sense!
Finally a very useful resource for identifying periods is the Tango By Year collection of recordings. A show where a Dj was picking songs from a specific year alevey time and an author (Michael Lavocah) wpuld comment and tell related stories.

I was so happy to see that you discussed "alternative tango" in this video. So few people give the people the serious attention it deserves, and I think your analysis is exactly right. :)

Thank you so much for the video. Although I have been dancing tango for some years, I have not paid close attention to the music composers and orchestras until I saw your video. After I started listening to them and even paying attention to the lyrics, my feelings to tango dance are certainly different. It certainly will impact how I dance when COVID is over. Hope I will not be one of those leaders whose “moves” are irrelevant to the music :). Thank you again.
