In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Brazilian dance rhythm bossa nova was incorporated into Argentinian tango and these new tangos were being performed at nightclubs in Buenos Aires. Audiences rushed to the nightclubs to listen earnestly to this new sound of tango. In
Nightclub 1960, Piazzolla combined both the flashy, syncopated rhythmic elements and the melancholic expressive character from the previous two movements, Bordel and Café. He also added in additional percussive effects. Hope that you like our interpretation of this beautifully written piece. Please stay tuned to next Saturday's premiere of the last exciting movement of Histoire du Tango- Concert d'aujourd'hui (Modern-Day Concert).
