It doesn't. Tango can be beautiful and there is more to it than Piazzolla, but Piazzolla is DRAMATIC and BOLD and that's the portrayal of tango we are doomed to get in skating. I am in fact hoping that at least some teams from Gadbois will bring something different.
Didn't Pogorilaya use Por una cabesa?
G/P used a tango by Lomuto. Difficult to dance to, but much better than the standard choices.
Lol, was googling and found this:http://figure-skating.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Tango
Lists 37 pieces of tango music used in figure skating, each page cataloging the skaters who used that piece. There's 15 entries for Adios Nonino. Don't think it's complete because I know Jeff Buttle skated to it and he is not included as one of them.
As an Argentine tango dancer and DJ, I have to disagree... Lomuto's tangos are delightful and perfectly suited to dancing tango, but maybe not great for ice dancing. It is "old school" tango and lacks the drama and edginess of Piazzola's music.
At last, another tanguero/tanguera!
I do know better than to discuss tango music with a DJ D) but here's my take on this - Fancisco Lomuto's music is wonderful, but G/P listed Daniel Lomuto for their 16/17 FD and his compositions are more modern. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Do you ever wonder why ice dance hasn't discovered the music of di Sarli? His instrumentals would work wonderfully on the ice. Pugliese too, for those who want a bit of drama.

Pugliese's 'Patetico' was always my dream piece for Virtue/Moir to skate Tango to (sadly, won't happen)...I'd love to see e.g. Weaver/Poje in 'Pasional' and Gilles/Poirier with 'A los Amigos'. There is so much Argentine Tango music still undiscovered for skating and it's a shame that same pieces are used endlessly, not really exploring variety of that genre, hence even bigger admiration from me to Gilles/Poirier who veered onto old-school, vintage vibe of Argentine Tango musically and with whole entourage, choreography-wise.
And I watched the programme as well...no, this isn't dancing music at all. But you could choreograph a show tango routine to it, probably.
You have excellent taste in tango music. Though I have a weakness for D'Arienzo and Tanturi...
I would love to see someone skate to Nochero Soy.
And Fresedo - his music sounds like a soundtrack to Italian films from the 1950s.
Well ... probably Marie-France will choose music that have nothing to do with tango ( like last year did with samba) and call that tango ... the only problem is that a imitate a tango is harder than put some electronics in a american music and call her samba
Do you mean Gilles/Poirier's FD? Did you dislike it so much? I think it was a wonderful program (perhaps not enough "male-female" chemistry between them for some people's tastes, but that has nothing to do with the music). Many people liked it, and it scored really well for them (in terms of PCS), so I don't think it can be called an unsuccessful program even if you and some other people don't like it. It was also well choreographed to the music, in my opinion (logical, otherwise it would not have been so widely liked).And I watched the programme as well...no, this isn't dancing music at all.
