Tango in 1987

In 1987 the stage show Tango Argentino toured the United States and Japan and added Luis Pereyra to its cast [1]. Astor Piazzolla made a live recording in New York's Central Park, and the sources describe his accompanying ensemble differently [2][7]. Osvaldo Pugliese played the Teatro Solís in Montevideo, and Julio Sosa's remains were repatriated to Uruguay [8][4].

The available sources record several tango events dated to 1987, in theatre, concert performance, recording, film and commemoration [1][2][4][5][6].

On stage, the production Tango Argentino was described as a world-wide hit that toured the United States and then Japan in 1987 [1]. The same source states that Luis Pereyra joined the cast that year [1].

In concert and on record, Astor Piazzolla travelled to the United States and recorded live in Central Park, New York [2][7]. The sources differ on which ensemble performed with him: one names an orchestra and the other refers to his quintet [2][7]. Osvaldo Pugliese performed at the Teatro Solís in Montevideo [8]. A recording catalogue lists 1987 recordings by Pugliese, Miguel Villasboas, and Piazzolla with Roberto Goyeneche [6].

Other items dated to 1987 include a Philips release titled Maestros del tango, listed on Horacio Salgán's page [3]. The Woody Allen film Días de radio (Radio Days) is listed in connection with 'La cumparsita' [5]. Julio Sosa's remains were repatriated to Uruguay that year [4].

Stage: Tango Argentino

According to its article, the musical Tango Argentino became a world-wide hit, touring the United States and then Japan, with the Japanese leg dated to 1987 [1]. The same source states that the dancer Luis Pereyra was added to the cast in 1987 [1]. The source does not say which theatres or cities hosted the tour, or how long it ran [1].

Performances

Astor Piazzolla travelled to the United States in 1987 and recorded live in Central Park [2]. A second source describes the event as a recital by the quintet in New York's Central Park and says it was released on record [7]. The two sources describe the performing forces differently. The Spanish-language source refers to the "Orquesta de St.", truncated in the dossier, while the English-language source refers to the quintet [2][7]. Both versions are recorded under Disputed.

Osvaldo Pugliese played the Teatro Solís in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1987 [8]. The source gives no further detail about the programme or dates of the appearance [8].

A recording catalogue lists the following tracks with 1987 recording dates. The dates refer to the listed recordings and do not establish when the works were composed or first performed [6].

On Horacio Salgán's page, a release titled Maestros del tango is listed with the label Philips and the year 1987 [3]. The source gives no track list or line-up for this release [3].

Film

Días de radio (Radio Days), a 1987 United States film directed by Woody Allen, is listed on the page about 'La cumparsita' [5]. The source excerpt does not describe how the tango is used in the film [5].

Commemoration
