Talk A Tango – Last Tanda,
Osvaldo Fresedo. Elegance And Refinament
The evolutionary trend initiated by Roberto Firpo had in Julio De Caro and Osvaldo Fresedo its most relevant figures. De Caro lifted tango music from the rough streets of the suburbs to the conservatory and opera houses. Fresedo dressed tango up in a tuxedo and guided it through the finest salons of Buenos Aires aristocratic nights. With the irruption of De Caro and Fresedo in the musical landscape, two distinct stylistic lines at the vanguard begun to evolve. The De Caro line, represented by brothers Julio and Francisco as well as by Pedro Maffia and Pedro Laurenz, sought a continuous exploration and expansion of tango horizons. The Decarean school, impulsive and dramatic, was the storm. In contrast, Fresedo, with a serene and harmonic style was the calm.
