Tango in 1978
In 1978 several tango figures were active both inside and outside Argentina. Astor Piazzolla wrote an imaginary letter to Carlos Gardel and returned to working with his Quinteto Nuevo Tango [1][2]. Susana Rinaldi settled in Paris [6], and recordings were issued or made by Roberto Goyeneche, Osvaldo Pugliese, the Cuarteto Cedrón and the Orquesta Típica Corrientes [3][5][7].
The material for 1978 covers three kinds of activity: biographical events in the careers of established tango musicians, record releases, and individual recording sessions listed in a discography [1][5][7].
Astor Piazzolla is linked to two events that year. He wrote an imaginary letter to Carlos Gardel [1][2]. According to the Spanish-language Wikipedia article on Piazzolla, from 1978 he also worked again with the Quinteto Nuevo Tango and returned to composing symphonic works and chamber pieces [1].
Several tango figures were working abroad in 1978. Susana Rinaldi settled in the Montmartre district of Paris and performed in the city [6]. The family group of Mariano Mores toured several Latin American countries and the United States [4].
On record, 1978 saw the release of the LP El caballo de la calesita (Le Cheval Du Manège) by the Cuarteto Cedrón on Polydor [3]. Roberto Goyeneche released Nada más que un corazón with the Orquesta Típica Porteña of Raúl Garello on RCA [5]. A discography lists recordings dated 1978 by the Orquesta Típica Corrientes, by Osvaldo Pugliese (with and without the singer Abel Córdoba), and by the Orquesta Típica Porteña with the singers Roberto Goyeneche and Roberto Rufino [7].
History
Astor Piazzolla
In 1978 Astor Piazzolla wrote an imaginary letter addressed to Carlos Gardel [2]. The Spanish-language Wikipedia article on Piazzolla says that in this letter he joked about a particular matter discussed in that article [1]. The dossier does not identify that matter or quote the letter's text [1][2].
The same article says that from 1978 Piazzolla worked again with the Quinteto Nuevo Tango and resumed composing symphonic works and chamber pieces [1]. The dossier names no specific compositions or concerts from that year [1].
Susana Rinaldi in Paris
In 1978 the singer Susana Rinaldi settled permanently in the Montmartre neighbourhood in the 18th arrondissement of Paris [6]. She stayed there until 1983, when she returned to Argentina after the election of President Raúl Alfonsín [6].
During 1978 Rinaldi sang at the Théâtre de la Ville, a municipal theatre in Paris [6]. She also gave a concert at UNESCO at the invitation of Yehudi Menuhin, president of the International Music Council (Asociación Internacional de Música) [6].
Mariano Mores
In 1978 the family group of Mariano Mores, described in its source as the family "clan", toured several Latin American countries and the United States [4]. The dossier does not give the countries, venues or dates of the tour [4].
