Gold marks the first we hold, not the first ever. Filled dots have filmed Dances; rings have no Dances matched yet.

6 recordings · our catalogue, dances filmed on TangoTube · 9 more we know of

a version people dance tono Dances matched yet: something to listen to

The leader is Ángel D'Agostino, with 61% of the 49 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

“No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.

Choose A and B on two recordings to hear them one after the other.
