Here is my favourite tango in 2 different versions.

Next time you are in your music shop, look for Piazolla, coz he wrote loads of them.

I cannot post them here, coz it is copyrighted.

Willie the Lion Smith wrote a beautiful tango. Anybody heard it?

And incidentally has anybody got any music of Willie the Lion Smith's?

check out Bill Matthiesen's "Argentinian Tangos For Keyboard" put out by Mel Bay. Very good collection of Tangos (copies of the actual original scores!) from 1900-1920. Very fun to play!
