Tango in 1974
In 1974, two Argentine set designers, Hector Orezzoli and Claudio Segovia, decided to create a tango production with dancers from across Argentina [1]. Astor Piazzolla signed a European representation agreement, toured abroad and recorded the album Summit in Italy [2]. A discography lists studio work that year by Juan D'Arienzo, Osvaldo Pugliese, Alfredo De Angelis, Héctor Varela and others [8].
This article collects dossier-documented events, personnel changes, publications and recordings connected with tango in the year 1974 [1][2][8]. The material covers stage production, Astor Piazzolla's career, changes in established ensembles, literary tributes and a large body of recordings listed with a 1974 date [1][2][6][7][8].
The political setting is touched on in a biography of the singer Susana Rinaldi [7]. It records that former president Juan Domingo Perón died in 1974 and that his wife, Isabel Perón, then received the office he had held [7]. The same source describes the political violence of the following year: in May 1975 alone, 29 crimes were attributed to the Triple A [7]. A biography of Piazzolla likewise refers to the chaotic political situation in Argentina in the 1970s as the background to his search for a recording contract in Europe [2].
In the theatre, the origin of the later production Tango Argentino is placed in 1974 [1]. That year, Hector Orezzoli and Claudio Segovia, two Argentine set designers, decided to put together a production about tango using what the source calls the best dancers in all of Argentina [1].
History: Astor Piazzolla in 1974
A Spanish-language biography of Astor Piazzolla states that in the 1970s, in view of the chaotic political situation in Argentina, he was looking for a recording contract in Europe [2]. In March 1974 the producer Aldo Pagani telephoned him to offer an agreement: Pagani would act as his representative, and the two would sign a contract valid for three years [2].
The same source records that in 1974 he undertook a tour that it calls European, covering Italy, France, Spain, Venezuela and Brazil, with Buenos Aires as the final destination to close the tour [2].
Also in 1974, the album Summit was recorded and released in Italy [2]. It was a collaboration with the American saxophonist and jazz musician Gerry Mulligan [2].
Ensembles and performers
The Sexteto Mayor changed its violin section in this period [6]. The violinist Mario Abramovich joined in September 1973, and Mauricio Mise joined in November 1974 [6]. The two replaced Reynaldo Nichele and Fernando Suárez Paz [6].
A biography of Raúl Garello states that in 1974 he made his debut with his first group, a sextet [9]. The debut took place at "El viejo almacén" in San Telmo, whose owner the source describes as a singer [9]. The excerpt in the dossier does not name that owner [9].
The recorded output of the Cuarteto Cedrón was issued in Argentina from 1964 to 1974 and again from 2004 onward [3]. In France it was issued from 1974 to 2004 [3]. On this account, 1974 marks the point at which issue of the group's records moved from Argentina to France [3].
The singer Roberto Goyeneche recorded Personalidad y tango (1974) with the orquesta típica of Atilio Stampone, on the RCA label [5].
Literature and other works
In 1974 the writer Julio Cortázar dedicated a poem, A la voz de Susana Rinaldi, to the singer [7]. It contains the line «No sé lo que hay detrás de tu voz...» [7].
The filmography or works list in a biography of the dancer Juan Carlos Copes includes the entry "1974 - Ésta es mi Argentina", by Leo Fleider, with texts by Cátulo Castillo [4]. The dossier does not say what kind of work this was or what role Copes had in it [4].
