Tango in 1986

The available sources record a small number of events for tango in 1986. They concern the death of a singer, a civic honour for a bandleader, new recordings, and a social dance venue in Europe ^[1][3][5][6].

In Buenos Aires, Leonel Edmundo Rivero died on 18 January 1986 ^[1]. He was an Argentine tango singer, guitarist and composer born in Valentín Alsina on 8 June 1911 ^[1]. In the same year the City of Buenos Aires declared Osvaldo Pugliese a Ciudadano Ilustre (Illustrious Citizen) ^[3].

Recordings dated to 1986 include an album by Roberto Goyeneche with the poet Enrique Cadícamo ^[4]. Mariano Mores recorded an LP with the singer Vikki Carr for CBS ^[2]. A discography lists 1986 sides by Osvaldo Pugliese, José Basso, and Juanjo Domínguez with Goyeneche ^[5].

Outside Argentina, a Sunday milonga at Les Trottoirs de Buenos Aires in Paris was led by the Uruguayan dancer Carmen Aguiar from 1986 ^[6].

Leonel Edmundo Rivero was born in Valentín Alsina on 8 June 1911 and died in Buenos Aires on 18 January 1986 ^[1]. His source describes him as an Argentine tango singer, guitarist and composer ^[1].

On 24 December 1985 Rivero suffered a cardiomyopathy ^[1]. He was admitted to the Sanatorio Güemes and stayed there for three weeks ^[1]. He died at the age of 74 on 18 January 1986 at 10:35 ^[1].

In 1986 the City of Buenos Aires declared Osvaldo Pugliese a Ciudadano Ilustre (Illustrious Citizen) ^[3]. The source names Buenos Aires as his city ^[3].

Mariano Mores recorded a four-track EP in Mexico in 1972 ^[2]. In 1977 he recorded the LP Enteramente Argentina for the Microfón label ^[2]. His next album, according to his source, came only in 1986 ^[2].

In 1986 Mores recorded the LP Ok Míster Tango for the CBS label ^[2]. He made it with Vikki Carr, an American singer of Latin origin ^[2]. He then toured the United States with the show ^[2]. The source spells the singer's name both as Vikki Carr and as Vicky Carr, so the spelling of her name differs within the material ^[2].

Roberto Goyeneche released El poeta y el cantor in 1986 ^[4]. The album documents a meeting between Goyeneche and the poet Enrique Cadícamo ^[4]. Together they chose songs by Cadícamo from different periods, and Goyeneche sang them ^[4].

A discography lists the following 1986 recordings, with the dates it gives ^[5]: - 'Afiches' (tango), Juanjo Domínguez with Roberto Goyeneche, 1986 ^[5] - 'Amigos que yo quiero' (tango), José Basso, 1986 ^[5] - 'Vieja amiga' (tango), Osvaldo Pugliese with Adrián Guida, 21 April 1986 ^[5] - 'Hermosa japonesita' (genre not stated), Osvaldo Pugliese with Adrián Guida, 23 August 1986 ^[5] - 'Ensayando' (tango), Osvaldo Pugliese, 10 November 1986 ^[5]

These dates are recording dates for the versions listed. They are not dates of composition or first performance ^[5].

In Paris, Les Trottoirs de Buenos Aires held a milonga on Sundays ^[6]. From 1986 it was led by Carmen Aguiar, whom the source describes as a Uruguayan dancer ^[6].
