I love being able to share pictures on which tango musicians aren’t posing for a portrait with a Hollywood-look on their face, but where instead they are shown in a more natural, normal way, sometimes so much that it gives us the impression that they were unaware that a photographer was sneaking around. The following picture shows us Ricardo Tanturi (center, dark tie) and his quite randomly-named band “Los Indios” (The Indians, as in: Native Americans, not India) as well as singer Alberto Castillo (young man with light tie to the left of the microphone).

Tango Archive
The idea of this website is to give access to (still undiscovered) photos of tango orchestras and singers found in old archive material.
Photographic material of tango music celebrities on the internet is still very scarce and we are working hard to change that.
We collaborate with Tango Time Machine at Tangodecoder.com to make more original material accessible.
Thank you for everything, Michael
