A
B
C
Well,
I
I
gotta,
say
I'm,
one
of
those
lucky
guys
that
got
to
play
with
them.
With
some
Tango
Legends
back
in
Buenos,
Aires,
I,
I
lived
there
and
I
was
born
and
raised
there
and
at
one
point,
I
started
coming
to
the
United
States
a
little
more
frequently
and
I
ended
up
living
in
New
York
for
a
few
years.
C
That's
why
we
that
that's
when
we
came
close
with
Hector
and
we
started
taking
upon
the
mission
of
bringing
the
the
the
the
true
Tango
artists
of
Tango
history,
to
the
states
to
to
teach
and
to
communicate
what
Argentine
Tango
is
real,
is
really
about,
and
I
can't
tell
you
the
smiles
we've
seen
from
American
and
and
and
musicians
all
over
the
world.
They
get
to
experience
this
this.
You
know
this
transmission
of
Argentine
Heritage,
firsthand.
B
B
We
have
students
from
Japan
from
Korea
from
Canada
from
US
from
Argentina,
and
the
idea
of
the
festival
is
to
coach
musicians
that
are
not
Tango
musicians
and
some
of
them
are
already
Tango
musicians,
but
we
bring
the
maestros
the
the
people
who
have
been
in
contact
with
with
the
some
of
them
were
part
of
the
the
Golden
Age
of
Tango
and
and
they
come
here
and
they
it's
it's
a
the
way
that
you
give
the
Artistry
of
Tango
to
students.
It's
not
through
a
book.
B
It's
not
true
through
a
manual
it's
by
performing
by
getting
coached
by
being
exposed
to
this
Tango
Legends.
So
that's
the
mission
of
the
sotango
music
festival,
and
so
we
have
been
working
for
a
week
with
bandonium
players.
I
will
show
you
later
what
the
bandanion
is.
I
know
you
know
it,
but
for
those
people
who
haven't
been
exposed
to
this
instrument
and
I'm
an
abundance
I'm
from
Argentina
as
well
and
then
Pablo
was
coaching.
The
pianists
and
today
is
when
all
these
string
players
arrive.
B
So
a
typical
Tango
Orchestra
has
strings
like
violin,
Viola,
cello
and
double
bass.
It
has
a
piano
and
it
has.
This
instrument
called
the
band
onion,
and
this
year
we
have
about
10
bandarian
players
that
are
going
to
be
joining
the
orchestra,
we're
expecting
quite
a
big
Orchestra.
This
year,
it's
going
to
be
a
big
Orchestra,
so
we
had
to
make
everybody
play
together
and
that's
a
big
big
task
that
we
take
every
year
upon
us
and-
and
we
have
the
help
of
all
the
effort
that
these
students
put
into
into
learning
this
art
form.
B
We
have
the
Chevron
onion
competition
and
that
will
be
on
Friday.
There
are
three
finalists
that
were
selected
already
and
they
are
here
and
they
will
perform
they
perform
as
a
soloist
and
they
also
perform
with
the
orchestra,
and
then
the
the
judges
will
decide.
Who
is
the
winner?
First,
for
this
year,
as
I
always
say,
competitions
are
a
way
of
of
having
people
looking
after
other
people
to
improve
the
level
of
playing,
and
that's
our
mission
here
to
to
improve
the
11th
level
of
pandanium
plane
in
Argentina.
D
A
B
We
have
a
few
different
places,
but
all
the
information
will
be
at
www.stottango.org
and
you
will
find
all
the
information
on
the
venues,
but
one
of
the
opinions
is
Top
Notch.
We
have
milonga
classes
in
there.
We
have
milongas
in
in
here.
This
is
a
beautiful
venue
and
that
is
with
passes,
so
people
will
buy
passes,
but
unfortunately,
those
passes
have
been
sold
out
for
a
while.
So
what
you
can
still
I
believe
there
are
not
many
left,
but
there
might
be
a
few
left.
B
It's
the
concert,
that's
Spruce
pick
and
that
will
be
on
the
19th
and
at
this
Prospect
performing
art
centers
the
center.
That's
when
we
have
the
orchestra,
the
big
Orchestra
about
30
musicians
and
also
there
is
a
milonga
where
people
will
be
dancing
to
tango.
So
that's
on
Saturday
and
I
hope
everybody
will
come
and
have
an
experience.
An
exposure
to
this
beautiful
music
from
Argentina
I.
C
B
Well,
the
Tango
Legend
one
of
them,
because
it's
also
a
Tango
Legend
and
he's
a
bass
player
that
had
played
with
the
many
of
the
the
famous
orchestras
in
Argentina
and
but
Victor
loazen
is.
He
is
a
legend
not
only
as
a
pandanion
player,
but
he
is
also
a
component
and
he
was
the
arranger
to
many
of
these
famous
orchestras
in
Argentina,
so
it
doesn't
get
better
than
that.
B
B
C
Victor's
one
of
those
guys
that,
even
though
you
don't
know
him,
you
know
his
work
because
he's
behind
a
lot
of
iconic
recordings-
and
you
probably
heard
him
play
even
though
you
don't
know
it
is-
is
it's
very
exciting
to
have
someone
like
that
Among
Us?
He
he
was,
he
was
already
active
when
he
was
14
years
old
in
the
50s,
and
he
never
looked
back.
He
he's
still
recording
he's
still.
Composing
is
quite
an
inspiration
to
have
someone
like
that
around.
B
B
Sure
we
have
Mike
quintet
is
always
the
artists
in
Residence
and
that's
Gustavo
casinave
on
piano,
double
bass,
Sami
mardinian
on
violin
and
jiswell
conchello,
and
we
also
will
have
some
performances
by
my
son,
Santiago
Del
Corto,
who
is
15
years
old.
But
this
is
already
an
accomplished,
clarinet
player
and
we
have
Pablo.
B
Yeah
we
we
know
that
when
we
say
Tango
people
are,
you
know,
expecting
to
see
dances
we
every
year
we
bring
two
couples
that
come
to
dance
with
us,
and
this
year
will
be
medium
and
Leonardo
and
Giovanna
and
Guillermo,
and
these
are
very
well-known.
Tango
dancers
and
the
medium
was
the
start
of
forever
Tango
and
they
are
going
to
give
some
classes
as
well
as
performance.
B
A
B
Borum
Tango
is
more
about
figures
and
choreographies,
and
also
people
dance
away
from
each
other
and
many
times
you
will
see
the
rose
on
their
mouth.
We
don't
have
any
of
that
and
people
dance
very
close
and
it's
a
coordination
of
the
bodies
like
no
other
and
that's
what
people
will
be
able
to
see
at
Spruce
Peak.
A
B
That
will
be
a
conversation
and
where
people
can
ask
questions,
but
we
also
tell
the
story
of
each
one
of
this
maestros
and
it's
quite
an
interesting
story,
because
these
orchestras
have
been
very,
very
active
in
the
40s
and
in
the
50s.
And
then
there
was
a
Revival
around
the
90s.
That
grew
a
lot
until
what
is
today
2023.
B
Yes,
so
in
order
to
be
able
to
dance
or
to
enjoy
the
music
as
a
listener,
it's
important
to
know
not
not
to
get
there's
a
lot
of
information
to
grasp
in
the
music
of
Tango.
There
are
many
layers
and
having
a
musicality
worship
helps
you
to
be
able
to
appreciate
the
art
in
in
a
much
better
way.
It's
like
going
to
a
museum,
and
you
know
nothing
about
the
art
you
will
cruise
through
the
the
paintings
or
or
any
piece
of
art
and
enjoy
it
as
a
view.
B
B
Yes,
so
the
afternoon
milongas
are,
as
I
said
before,
people
know
time
go
through
the
dance.
Mainly
there
were
shows
in
that
made
Tango
famous
all
over
the
world
like
Tango,
Argentino
or
forever
Tango,
and
one
of
the
ways
that
you
experience
Tango
is
listening,
but
the
other
way
that
you
experience
Tango,
is
by
dancing.
Tango
is
a
social
dance.
B
So
it's
not
just
what
happens
on
top
of
the
stage.
It's
also
what
happens
as
a
community.
There
is
a
big
community
of
tango
dancers
all
over
the
world,
and
this
milongas
give
the
opportunity
to
people
to
to
mingle,
to
have
a
fun
dancing
and
also
to
have
the
connection
with
the
musicians,
which
is
very
rare.
These
days.
C
I
think
it's
important
that
that
experience.
You
know
that
that
milonga
experience
that
that
is,
you
know,
get
together.
Dance
tango,
that's
a
very
important
part
of
Tango
Heritage
that
still
happens
in
Argentina
every
single
day,
and
you
know
that
that's
part
of
what
we
do
for
Tango
in
Buenos
Aires
and
to
be
able
to
share
that
with
people
in
the
United
States.
For
that
experience,
I
think
it's
it's
very
important,
because
you
know
many.
C
B
Yes,
so
the
orchestra
will
be
it's.
It's
part
of
the
the
whole
two
weeks
that
we
are
working
here.
The
part
of
the
result
of
these
two
weeks
and
the
idea
of
having
the
maestros
joined
the
students
or
the
students
joining
the
maestros
in
to
experience
the
music
first
hand
and
the
orchestra
prepares
for
these
two
weeks
very
intensively
and
I
just
mentioned
something
that
happened
this
week.
B
There
are
many
students,
not
many,
but
a
few
students
that
come
here
with
the
idea
that
we
will
give
them
a
chart
and
they
will
have
the
melody
and
some
few
chords
and
they
will
just
gather
with
other
musicians,
and
everybody
will
play
the
same
thing.
This
is
nothing
like
that.
This
is
very,
very,
very
serious
orchestra
that
we
have
amazing
arrangements
from
Pablo's,
the
Arabia
from
Victor
Lawson
arrangements
from
the
very
famous
orchestras
like
an
event,
and
we
coach
these
musicians
musicians
very
intensively
and
we
perform
with
the
orchestra.
B
So
this
Orchestra
is
the
highest
level
orchestra
that
you
will
find
around
the
world
and-
and
it's
all
with
musicians
that
are
not
only-
they
are
not
amateur
musicians.
They
are
professional
musicians
that
are
experiencing
Tango
at
this
time,
but
they
know
how
to
play
their
instruments,
so
the
the
level
of
musicianship
is
very
high
and
the
orchestra
sounds
amazing.
If
you
go
to
the
website
stotango.org,
you
will
hear
some
samples
of
it.
B
Yeah
musicians
we
have
about,
we,
we
keep
the
number
to
a
limit
because
we
don't
want
to
not
pay
attention
to
each
one
of
them.
So
we
have
about
I,
would
say
30
musicians,
so
maybe
a
little
bit
more
and
besides
the
guest
artists
and
and
the
quintet
Mike
winter
and
in
terms
of
audience,
we
expect
about
500
people
every
year,
because
that's
the
capacity
of
Spruce
Peak
and
the
capacity
of
the
venues
that
we
have
in
store.
That's
why
we
get
the
passes
sold
out
very
quickly
and
so
next
year.
B
A
B
Yeah,
so
we
have
many
of
the
musicians
that
come
every
year
and
some
of
them
had
to
skip
some
years
because
of
work
and
we
have
new
musicians
every
year.
So
the
musicians
who
were
here
before
are
able
to
help
the
ones
that
come
that
came
this
year
only
and
these
musicians
are
from,
as
I
said,
before,
Japan
Korea
Argentina,
we
have
from
all
over
the
world,
and
so
it's
it's
a
great
atmosphere,
because
this
is
not
including
the
competition.
B
It's
not
a
competition
where
people
look
to
beat
each
other,
but
they
look
to
help
each
other,
so
the
students
listen
to
each
other
and
but
the
the
participants
listen
to
each
other
and
and
good,
make
constructive
criticism
and
they
make
progress
and
also
the
the
musicians
that
are
performing.
They
have
the
opportunity
to
all
be
in
a
soloist
at
some
point
to
experience
the
the
being
a
soloist
and
in
terms
of
the
people
that
that
participate,
the
dancers.
B
A
A
B
D
C
This
this
was
a.
This
was
a
piece
composed
by
the
Great
Master
oracio
salgan,
which
is
kind
of
like
our
our
Astor
pietola
for
Tango
pianists.
You
know
yes,
yeah,
I
gotta,
say
it's
very
exciting
to
to
get
to
to
to
share
time
with
with
people.
Here
they
come
from
the
best
schools.
Her
technique
is
insane
and
the
fact
that
they
they
get
the
opportunity
to
be
trained
by
people
like
Victor.
C
B
C
Will
be
something
like
that,
so
when
we
were
talking
about
the
atmosphere
here,
I
think
appreciation
is
a
word
that
comes
to
mind
as
well.
Everybody
seems
so
grateful
to
have
the
opportunity
to
have
someone
like
that.
I
mean
he's
88
years
old,
he
jumped
into
a
plane,
came
to
Vermont
and
he's
playing
and
hanging
out
with
with
people
that
love
Tango
and
want
to
experience
that
firsthand,
which
is
pretty
amazing.
To
me.
A
While
we're
waiting,
I
just
want
to
say,
because
of
the
time
that
the
festival
is
going
to
be
going
on,
August
18th,
19th
and
20th,
one
of
the
largest
tango
music
festivals
in
the
world,
we're
gonna
publish
the
website.
So
if
anyone
wants
information,
they
can
go
there.
And
meanwhile,
let's
hear
from
Hector
who
is
an
Emmy
Award
winner.
B
A
B
B
D
D
D
B
A
That
is
just
a
sample
of
what
people
can
see
and
participate
in
at
the
stove
tango
music
festival.
That's
a
wonderful
way
to
conclude
and
I
want
to
thank
you
both
for
being
here
and
for
performing
and
say
hello
to
Jesus
for
us
and
Santiago
and
all
the
other
people
involved,
and
this
is
just
a
great
way
to
spend
the
days
learning
about
this
wonderful
art
form
and
meet
these
wonderful
performance.
A
This
is
Dennis
McMahon,
where
you've
been
speaking
about
the
stove
tangle,
Music
Festival,
taking
place
August
18,
19
and
20
in
Stowe
Vermont.
My
guests
have
been
Hector
Del,
Puerto
and
Pablo
estigariba
La
libia,
who
will
be
organizing
and
Performing
and
running
things
up
there.
There
and
they're
gonna
need
a
big
rest,
I
think,
but
that
is
just
a
beautiful
piece
of
work.
Thank.
