This was a radical transformation. The tango became slower, more melancholic, and incorporated new harmonies. Tango orchestras were made up of two violins, two bandoneons, a piano and a double bass. Sometimes it was sung.
Night-club 1960: A new evolution was witnessed during this period, in which international exchange increased considerably.

The public flocked to the nightclubs to listen earnestly to the new tango – a revolution and profound disruption of certain forms of old tango.
Concert d’aujourd’hui:  Certain concepts join tango music with contemporary music, such as recollections by Bartok, Stravinsky and several others on a tango base. This is today’s tango, the tango of the future…
