Los reyes de la noche en las milongas porteñas

Key facts

What this source covers

Profile of Buenos Aires's veteran social dancers: at 77, from Villa Pueyrredón, he trained at Club Juvena (now Gabriela Mistral) alongside the milongueros Tequendama and Ortega; worked as a piano mover ('transportista de pianos'); dances the orillero style; names him, El Chino Perico, El Flaco Dany, and Osvaldo and Coca (Cartery) as milongueros rescued by the ACETA project (Academia de Estilos del Tango Argentino), which paired veteran milongueros with young dancers to pass on figures and styles at risk of disappearing.
