Tango wasn’t just hard work and fierce competition. Sometimes you also had to relax a bit and apparently set a good example for the dance audience, like Donato or D’Arienzo. However, if we should really believe this image below (no, actually you shouldn’t), sometimes there were no women around and the second best option was ”tango queer” before anyone ever invented that term. Also, who ever knew that Firpo was a ukelele expert? These guys were simply multi-talented!

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

I agree completely. Deep sorrow for the human condition and how it affects our mind states. Thank you so much for doing this work and remembering Michael Krugman and his passion!
