Book excerpt: 'Tracing Tangueros' offers an inside view of Argentine tango music in the context of the growth and development of the art form's instrumental and stylistic innovations. The authors trace tango's historical and stylistic musical trajectory in Argentina, beginning with the guardia nueva's crystallization of the genre in the 1920s, moving through tango's Golden Age (1932-1955), and culminating with the 'Music of Buenos Aires' today.
