Summary

Wendland and Link discuss post–Golden Age tango by comparing the life and works of its two great pillars: Horacio Salgán (1916–2016) and Astor Piazzolla (1921–1992). They offer insight into how these tangueros traveled on two distinct paths both in the trajectory of their careers and the development of their styles, and how they shaped the next generation into the twenty-first century.
