Horacio Salgan

Horacio Salgán brought harmonic refinement and rhythmic intelligence to modern Argentine tango. From Argentina, he worked as pianist, composer, arranger, and bandleader, renewing the orquesta típica tradition without severing it from dance and song. Pieces such as A fuego lento, Don Agustín Bardi, and Grillito place him near the more chamber-like tango world associated with Astor Piazzolla.
