Who Is Singing Tango Today?

Not long ago, I shared with you six of my favorite tango singers: Gardel, Goyeneche, Sosa, Podestá, Rivero, and Vidal. Six extraordinary voices, each with a completely different way of telling tango. So today I'd like to introduce you to seven of my favorite tango singers of the present day. You can click on their names to listen to some of their songs.

Music Brings Us Together

What if, for once, we put the screens aside? What if we chose a city, brought a small group of guitarists together, and spent a few days doing all the things that are difficult to do alone? Playing together. Listening to each other. Rehearsing. Learning. Talking about music over coffee. Having dinner together. And, since we're dreaming... Why not finish the whole thing by playing tango for a room full of dancers? Well... We're doing it.

Classical or Popular Music: Do We Really Have to Choose?

For some reason, we musicians love putting things into categories. Classical or popular. Written or improvised. Academic or intuitive. Sophisticated or simple. And sooner or later, especially when we begin studying music seriously, a question appears: Which one should I study? My answer today would be: why should you have to choose?

Six Voices, Six Ways to Tell a Story

As you may know, tango is much more than music, dance, or poetry. It's an entire culture that expresses itself through all of them. Listening carefully to the great singers takes us straight to the emotional heart of this music. Today I'd like to introduce you to six singers I return to again and again. Each of them left a unique mark on tango, and each has something different to teach us as listeners and as musicians.

What Brings Us to Tango?

Everyone arrives at tango differently. Some people discover it through dance. Others hear an old recording and become fascinated by its sound. Some inherit a love for the music from their parents or grandparents. And sometimes, it begins with something as simple as wanting to learn a single song. Looking back over the years, I've realized that no two journeys into tango are exactly alike.

Your Most Valuable Practice Tool Isn’t Your Guitar

Serious musicians spend a great deal of time with their instruments. But time and attention are not the same thing. The greatest progress usually came during twenty or thirty minutes of complete concentration.

When Tango and Football Speak the Same Language

Football and tango have much more in common than we usually realize. I know. It might not be obvious at first glance. One belongs to stadiums, the other to cafés and concert halls. One is played with a ball, the other with instruments. But beneath the surface, both speak exactly the same language.

Why Are We Still Talking About Gardel?

Almost a century has passed since Carlos Gardel died. The world has changed beyond recognition. And yet, somehow, Gardel is still here. His voice continues to appear in films, cafés, documentaries, books, playlists, etc. So the question naturally arises: Why are we still talking about Gardel?

Meet your teacher

Flavio Romanelli, Founder of TGL.

I was born in Buenos Aires in July 1985, and grew up immersed in tango music influenced by my family's love for the genre. I have a Master's Degree in Music Composition and have had the privilege of learning from some of Argentina's greatest maestros. Over the years, I've played in many ensembles and orchestras, recorded several albums, toured in more than 50 cities across four continents, and received recognition from the Ministry of Culture of Argentina twice. Teaching at the National University of Arts, one of Argentina’s top conservatories, has been another highlight of my career, where I’ve had the chance to share my passion and knowledge with students.

I started Tango Guitar Lessons with the purpose of sharing this music that’s so close to my heart, that I love deeply, and that’s an essential part of who I am.

No matter where you are, as long as you have a guitar and an internet connection, you can dive into this amazing genre. Join me, I’d love to show you the wonderful world of tango music!

Do you have questions about our courses?

Who are these courses for?

These courses are for guitarists that want to start playing tango music, or for those who already know some and want to dig deeper.

I don't know anything about guitar, can I learn to play with these courses?

Although it is true that in these courses you will learn many things about the instrument and music theory, they are not meant to teach you to play the guitar from scratch. There are other platforms that might help you with that.

Which is the general aim of these courses?

The general aim is to provide the necessary tools to play tango in an authentic way, through an efficient and dynamic method that allows the student to advance at their own pace.

Do I need to know how to read music?

No, it is not essential and most of the PDF material is also available in TAB. However, you can get the most out of our courses if you do.

Once the course is purchased, is there a time limit to complete it?

No, there is not. You can take your time and watch each lesson as many times as you want. The whole idea is that you can practise and learn at your own pace.
