Live Music

Our Mission
One of the main missions of The Organic Tango School is to develop the live music scene as it applies to social dance tango.  This is a long term project that currently involves promoting existing tango bands.  This includes everything from solo ensembles to larger groupings that play in a more traditional or more alternative style and repertoire.  It also includes hosting free traveling jams where possible.

The Goal
Our future intentions are to help develop new and sustainable resources for live tango music.  This will include highly danceable compositions with lyrics in multiple languages.  We believe that the gateway to this mission is the development of local and large community orchestras! 

The Path
Of primary importance is understanding what tango dancers really like to dance to.  Deconstructing and analyzing the best Golden Age recordings is one way to do this.  While we will never be able to fully recreate the style of the traditional recordings we can come close emulating it.  From there, we can make new arrangements, and ultimately new compositions, of this work that will be enjoyed by contemporary social dancers for years to come!  If you're passionate about this subject, please join our discussion group.
