Kendra Stepputat. 2024. Tango Dance and Music: A Choreomusical Exploration of Tango Argentino (1st ed.). London: Routledge. 280 pages; 45 B/W Illustrations
Abstrak
This book makes a substantial contribution to tango studies and slips into a rich vein of detailed, passionate, carefully written academic accounts from Marta Savigliano’s (1995) iconic Tango and the Political Economy of Passion and Julie Taylor’s (1998) poignant ethnography Paper Tangos, to Robert Thompson’s (2005) flourishing Tango:The Art History of Love and Kathy Davis’s (2015) feminist call Dancing Tango: Passionate Encounters in a Globalizing World. Each study brings a disciplinary angle to the tango orchestra and dance floor. Kendra Stepputat’s orientation is around the choreomusical – concentrating on the dance as it reached Europe in different waves, and its distinct musicality or “danceability” as explored through a series of unique experiments.
