Horacio Salas reconstructs the history of tango from the outskirts of Buenos Aires to its becoming a musical mirror of Argentina, addressing its founding myths, the bandoneon, the Guardia Vieja, lunfardo, the first lyricists, the great orchestras, Corrientes Street, and the renewal brought by the new tango.
