Synopsis "TANGO, EL"

Un recorrido inédito por la historia de una música que fascinó a Jorge Luis Borges. Cincuenta años después de pronunciadas, cuatro conferencias inéditas de Borges sobre el tango que abordan, a puro ingenio, desde sus orígenes en los arrabales de la Buenos Aires de antaño, sus raíces en la milonga y sus personajes (compadritos, "niños bien", mujeres de mala vida), hasta la figura de Carlos Gardel, el espíritu del "tango llorón", y el lugar del gaucho y las "casas malas" en su lírica.

Jorge Luis Borges (Buenos Aires, 1899 – Geneva, 1986) was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, noted for his originality and literary precision. His work, primarily in the genres of short stories, essays, and poetry, redefined literature in the Spanish language. Throughout his life, he cultivated unparalleled erudition, with constant references to philosophy, metafiction, labyrinths, and the infinite.

Among his most recognized works are Fictions (1944), The Aleph (1949), The Maker (1960), and The Book of Sand (1975). Although he never received the Nobel Prize, he did obtain numerous international accolades for his work. His legacy continues to be a subject of study and admiration in the literary world worldwide.
