Tango in 1987

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].

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].

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].

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].

In 1987 the remains of Julio Sosa were repatriated to Uruguay ^[4]. Since then they have rested in the Cementerio de Las Piedras in Canelones ^[4].
