Tango in 1986

In 1986 the singer, guitarist and composer Edmundo Rivero died in Buenos Aires [1], and the City of Buenos Aires declared Osvaldo Pugliese an Illustrious Citizen [3]. The year also saw new recordings by Pugliese, Roberto Goyeneche, José Basso and Mariano Mores [2][4][5], and in Paris a Sunday milonga led by Carmen Aguiar began [6].

The available sources record a small number of events for tango in 1986. They concern the death of a singer, a civic honour for a bandleader, new recordings, and a social dance venue in Europe [1][3][5][6].

In Buenos Aires, Leonel Edmundo Rivero died on 18 January 1986 [1]. He was an Argentine tango singer, guitarist and composer born in Valentín Alsina on 8 June 1911 [1]. In the same year the City of Buenos Aires declared Osvaldo Pugliese a Ciudadano Ilustre (Illustrious Citizen) [3].

Recordings dated to 1986 include an album by Roberto Goyeneche with the poet Enrique Cadícamo [4]. Mariano Mores recorded an LP with the singer Vikki Carr for CBS [2]. A discography lists 1986 sides by Osvaldo Pugliese, José Basso, and Juanjo Domínguez with Goyeneche [5].

Outside Argentina, a Sunday milonga at Les Trottoirs de Buenos Aires in Paris was led by the Uruguayan dancer Carmen Aguiar from 1986 [6].

Deaths

Leonel Edmundo Rivero was born in Valentín Alsina on 8 June 1911 and died in Buenos Aires on 18 January 1986 [1]. His source describes him as an Argentine tango singer, guitarist and composer [1].

On 24 December 1985 Rivero suffered a cardiomyopathy [1]. He was admitted to the Sanatorio Güemes and stayed there for three weeks [1]. He died at the age of 74 on 18 January 1986 at 10:35 [1].

Honours

In 1986 the City of Buenos Aires declared Osvaldo Pugliese a Ciudadano Ilustre (Illustrious Citizen) [3]. The source names Buenos Aires as his city [3].

Recordings

Mariano Mores recorded a four-track EP in Mexico in 1972 [2]. In 1977 he recorded the LP Enteramente Argentina for the Microfón label [2]. His next album, according to his source, came only in 1986 [2].

In 1986 Mores recorded the LP Ok Míster Tango for the CBS label [2]. He made it with Vikki Carr, an American singer of Latin origin [2]. He then toured the United States with the show [2]. The source spells the singer's name both as Vikki Carr and as Vicky Carr, so the spelling of her name differs within the material [2].

Roberto Goyeneche released El poeta y el cantor in 1986 [4]. The album documents a meeting between Goyeneche and the poet Enrique Cadícamo [4]. Together they chose songs by Cadícamo from different periods, and Goyeneche sang them [4].

A discography lists the following 1986 recordings, with the dates it gives [5]: - 'Afiches' (tango), Juanjo Domínguez with Roberto Goyeneche, 1986 [5] - 'Amigos que yo quiero' (tango), José Basso, 1986 [5] - 'Vieja amiga' (tango), Osvaldo Pugliese with Adrián Guida, 21 April 1986 [5] - 'Hermosa japonesita' (genre not stated), Osvaldo Pugliese with Adrián Guida, 23 August 1986 [5] - 'Ensayando' (tango), Osvaldo Pugliese, 10 November 1986 [5]

These dates are recording dates for the versions listed. They are not dates of composition or first performance [5].

Dance notes

In Paris, Les Trottoirs de Buenos Aires held a milonga on Sundays [6]. From 1986 it was led by Carmen Aguiar, whom the source describes as a Uruguayan dancer [6].
