Tango in 1972

This article gathers what the available sources record about tango activity dated to 1972, including concerts, changes in ensemble line-ups, album releases and studio recording sessions. ^[2][3][5][6] The material is uneven. Most of it comes from a single discography listing of recordings dated to that year. ^[6] The rest comes from biographical articles on Edmundo Rivero, Horacio Salgán, Mariano Mores, Roberto Goyeneche, the Sexteto Mayor and Astor Piazzolla, each of which mentions 1972. ^{[1][2][3][4][5][7]}

According to these sources, Horacio Salgán played at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires in 1972. ^[2] Mariano Mores gave a series of concerts at the Lincoln Center in New York with the singers Ruth Durante and Raúl Lavié. ^[3] The article on the Sexteto Mayor places around 1972 the idea of forming an ensemble modelled on the Quinteto Real. ^[5] Roberto Goyeneche's discography lists two 1972 releases: *Sentimiento tanguero*, with the orquesta típica of Atilio Stampone on RCA, and the compilation *Gotán*. ^[4]

The discography listing names recording sessions throughout the year. ^[6] Its dated entries run from a session by Miguel Villasboas on 21 January to one by Osvaldo Pugliese with the singer Abel Córdoba on 27 December. ^[6] Many other entries carry only the year 1972. ^[6] The listing covers tangos, milongas and valses, along with single items labelled milongón, cifra, tango milonga and arreglo en tango. ^[6]

Mariano Mores. The article on Mariano Mores states that he recorded ten studio albums from an earlier point in his career up to 1972. ^[3] It describes a group he called the Sexteto Rítmico Moderno, whose first line-up was Mariano Mores (piano), Leopoldo Federico (bandoneón), Ubaldo de Lío (guitar), Martín Darré (organ), Aldo Nicolini (double bass) and José Corriale, who played percussion until 1972. ^[3]

The same article describes a later orchestra that included Roberto Pansera on keyboards and Juan Carlos Zunnini on piano (1981–1989). ^[3] It also included Aldo Nicolini, Osvaldo Montes on bandoneón (nine years with Mores), Ramón Eusebio Barrionuevo on guitar, and the voices of Nito and Claudia Mores. ^[3] José Pepe Corriale handled percussion until 1972, and Ignacio Pucho Riccio took over from that date. ^[3]

In 1972 Mores gave a series of concerts at the Lincoln Center in New York with the singer Ruth Durante and with Raúl Lavié. ^[3] That year he also recorded a four-track EP in Mexico. ^[3] His discography lists *Mariano Mores y su Sexteto* (1972) as an EMI EP in two entries, one for Argentina and one for Mexico. ^[3] The article adds that his next recordings were the LP *Enteramente Argentina* on the Microfón label in 1977, followed by an album in 1986. ^[3] His filmography includes *Vallejos*, a short dated 1972 that was not released commercially. ^[3]

Horacio Salgán. The article on Horacio Salgán states that he played at the Lincoln Center in New York in 1970 and at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires in 1972. ^[2]

Origins of the Sexteto Mayor. According to the article on the Sexteto Mayor, its founders had been pursuing separate careers. ^[5] Around 1972 they conceived the idea of forming an ensemble like the Quinteto Real. ^[5] They gathered musicians, paying some of them out of their own pockets, and began playing together once a week on Radio El Mundo without payment. ^[5] They took turns directing the group, one at a time. ^[5]

Roberto Goyeneche and Edmundo Rivero. Goyeneche's discography lists *Sentimiento tanguero* (1972), recorded with the orquesta típica of Atilio Stampone for RCA. ^[4] It also lists *Gotán* (1972), a compilation with Aníbal Troilo, Horacio Salgán and Los Modernos. ^[4] The article on Edmundo Rivero lists a title, *Canciones para mi pueblo*, with the year 1972. ^[1]

Astor Piazzolla. A biography of Astor Piazzolla describes 1972 as another good circumstance for him, following the recording of an LP it calls remarkable. ^[7] The available excerpt breaks off before naming that LP. ^[7]
