Tania<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Today’s edition<\/span> of today talks about 6 women who have dedicated themselves to tango with all their being.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Spanish singer Taniaola Tania was born<\/span> in Toledo, at the end of the 19th century, she will probably always have been a secret. Because she guarded it with care.<\/span> Tania, in reality Ana Luciano Divis, was the daughter of a Spanish colonel who led the Municipal Band of Toledo.In 1916, Tania made her debut<\/span> as a singer of coplas. With his brother and guitarist Antonio Fern\u00e1ndez Rodr\u00edguez, her later husband, founded<\/span> Tr\u00edo Mexicano and <\/span> toured Spain and Portugal and Portugal to Par\u00eds. <\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1924, she traveled\u00f3<\/span> to Argentina and Uruguay and<\/span> discovered the<\/span> tango. Soon <\/span>she sang with such popular orchestras as Fr\u00e9sedo and Firpo. In 1928, she me<\/span>t and fell in lov\u00f3<\/span> by the legendary poet and composer Enrique Santos Discepolo. They became a couple and Tania premieres<\/span> some of his most famous songs such as Uno and Confesi\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I interviewed her<\/span> in 1995 in her dressing room at the Teatro Alvear, in spite of being almost 100 years old, she told me<\/span> the role of women in the world of tango in the 1930s and 1940s, how Razzano presented her<\/span> the famous poet and<\/span> from<\/span> her travels with Discepolo through<\/span> all<\/span> Europe.<\/span> Unfortunately, we were interrupted by Amelita Baltar, who brought Tania on stage for a sound check.<\/span> of the show “Disceplo y nosotras”. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amelita Baltar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Amelita Baltar, Astor Piazzolla Piazzolla’s long-time companion for many years, had performed Piazzolla and Ferrer’s repertoire exclusively for 27 years.<\/span> This concert “Discepolo y nosotras” was her idea. As told me<\/span> Amelita<\/span> after\u00e9s performance, she was very proud of having dared to sing only Enrique Santos Discepolo’s songs. <\/span>And she was happy<\/span> that the p\u00fablic<\/span> wa enthusiastic about it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las Tangueras<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Four<\/span> women<\/span> accompanied the two singers, the group Las Tangueras.<\/span> Amelita had suggested this quartet of women to Tania, as it seemed to her to be more suitable than a men’s outfit. And Tania had accepted because she liked the way they sounded.<\/span> how they sound. During our conversation in 1996 they told me how<\/span> the group “Las Tangueras” had been formed<\/span> in 1991 to tour Japan as an all-female ensemble. But<\/span> In their opinion, it was more important to play well<\/span> than being a female ensemble.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in 1996,<\/span> a few days<\/span> before our interview, the company has celebrated its 5th\u00ba<\/span> anniversary at the Viejo Alamacen with so many famous guests such as Susana Rinaldi, Amelita Baltar and Horacio Ferrer.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen<\/span> yourselves<\/span> for yourselves<\/span> what these three generations of Tangueras, the almost centenarian Tania, Amelita Baltar, Amelita Baltar<\/span> 55 years old<\/span> and the<\/span> Tangueras<\/span> with their twenty years want to tell us …..<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
