Deep Tango Thoughts :: No More Crappy Music

There's a lot of really good traditional tango music out there in the world. A lot.

There's a lot of good alt/nuevo music.

Whether you're having an all trad milonga, or a 50/50 milonga, or all nuevo, play all of the best fucking music.

Don't play crappy music.

Please.

It is your moral imperative. You owe it to tango, to your community, to the dancers of the community, to yourself.

It brainwashes new dancers to hear shit week after week.

Seasoned dancers who know good music when they hear it just won't come to your milonga.

Figure it the fuck out.

Do the research. Put in the time.

Invest in your collection, searching out the very best versions of every song.

Lead, or get out of the fucking way.

Go big or go home.

That is all.
