Tango in 1979
In 1979, tango recording activity is documented in a year listing that includes sessions by the orchestras of Armando Pontier with Roberto Goyeneche, Osvaldo Pugliese, and Osvaldo Fresedo, among others [1]. Also that year, Osvaldo Pugliese's orchestra toured Japan for Min-On [4], and Susana Rinaldi presented a Barclay-produced album at the Olympia in Paris [3].
The sources gathered for 1979 consist mainly of a recording listing for the year [1]. They are supplemented by biographical articles on Roberto Goyeneche [2], Susana Rinaldi [3], and Astor Piazzolla [5][6], a record of tango tours organised in Japan by Min-On [4], and an article on the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional [7].
The recording listing gives full session dates for several orchestras and year-only dates for other artists [1]. Exact dates appear for Armando Pontier with Roberto Goyeneche in May and June, Osvaldo Pugliese between September and December, Osvaldo Fresedo in October and November, and Hernán Salinas in October [1]. Year-only entries appear for José Canet with Nelly Omar, Miguel Villasboas, Susana Rinaldi, Héctor Varela with Tita Merello, and Florindo Sassone [1]. A Goyeneche discography separately lists an album, Con alma (1979), made with the orchestra of Armando Pontier for RCA [2].
Outside the studio, Osvaldo Pugliese's orchestra made the tenth Min-On tango tour of Japan in 1979 [4]. Susana Rinaldi's album was presented at the Olympia in Paris that year [3]. An article on the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional states that Almendra, at the end of 1979, and Mercedes Sosa, in 1982, were the first musicians to return to the stage [7].
Stage, film and touring
Osvaldo Pugliese's orchestra toured Japan for Min-On in 1979 [4]. The Min-On history counts it as the tenth Min-On tango tour [4]. The same source states that Pugliese later chose Min-On for his 1989 farewell tour [4].
An article on Susana Rinaldi states that an album whose title alluded to her two homelands, ending in «París», was produced by Barclay [3]. According to the same article, it was presented at the Olympia in Paris in 1979 [3]. The article also mentions a musical created in 1979 by Julio Tahier [3]. It states that the work was so successful that tickets stayed sold out for two years in Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata [3]. It further reports that Tahier said to director Manuel González Gil, «Qué linda obra hiciste» [3]. The excerpt does not make clear how this production related to Rinaldi [3].
The Spanish-language article on Astor Piazzolla lists El infierno tan temido by Raúl de la Torre with the year 1979 [6]. The excerpt does not state the nature of Piazzolla's involvement [6]. A separate Piazzolla biography states that in 1979, once again with his quintet, he introduced a work [5]. Its title is cut off in the available excerpt [5].
An article on the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional states that Almendra, at the end of 1979, and Mercedes Sosa, in 1982, were the first musicians to return to the stage [7].
