Episode 52 covers the years 1976-2016. We start the episode with one of Astor Piazzolla's most recognizable tango nuevo piece, "Libertango"; as "demonstrated" in the movie Tango Lesson, it is "danceable", at least in circumstances where a follower is courted by three leaders. To cover the many great tango nuevo, alternative tango, and electronic tango formations of the past four decades would take way more than an hour; instead, our last episode follows the spirit of the series and cherry-picks from danceable tangos of more traditional style, but perhaps lesser known formations.
Episode 51 covers the years 1966-1975. We start with "Mi dolor" shouted by Osvaldo Ramos with the orchestra of Juan D'Arienzo, followed upon by Osvaldo Pugliese, Aníbal Troilo, Juan D'Arienzo (instrumentals, and with Osvaldo Ramos), Florindo Sassone, Alfredo De Angelis (with Carlos Aguirre), and valses from Alfredo De Angelis and from Héctor Varela with Jorge Falcon and Fernando Soler.
Episode 50 covers the years 1960-1965. "Qué falta que me hacés", recorded by Miguel Caló with Alberto Podestá is our first tango, which is followed by valses from Francisco Canaro, Juan D'Arienzo (with Osvaldo Ramos) and Alfredo De Angelis (with Juan Carlos Godoy) and further tangos from Aníbal Troilo, Juan D'Arienzo with Jorge Valdez and with Osvaldo Ramos, Osvaldo Pugliese with Jorge Maciel, Alfredo De Angelis with Alberto Cuello, and Victor Braña with Carlos Dante.
Episode 49 covers the years 1957-1959. The episode starts with "Merceditas" of the orchestra of Osmar Maderna with singers Adolfo Rivas and Carlos Aldao.
