1. Episode 36 - Tango Stories: Interview with Fabian Salas, Lola Diaz & Emiliano Messiez

   Radio host Meredith Klein interviews, by phone, three headliners of the 9th Philly Tango Festival (May 2019). Fabián Salas and Lola Díaz talk about CITA's twenty-one years, the Premios Tango they founded, and how Salas built a teaching pedagogy from scratch as tango professionalised. Pianist and arranger Emiliano Messiez then talks about founding the Típica Messiez, a new ten-piece orquesta típica set to debut at the festival. Two songs play between the segments: Último Tango en Buenos Aires by Rubén Juárez, chosen by Salas and Díaz, and a recording by Raúl Jaurena's Uruguayan orchestra.
