ÁNGEL VILLOLDO El Choclo
When someone says ‘street music’, invariably the first thing we think of is South America. There are countless styles of dance which developed historically through their rich and lively culture of street music that’s still present today. Brazil is famous for its samba and bossa nova, Cuba gave birth to the rumba and the salsa, Uruguay the milonga, but it is Argentina that is the home of this month’s dance: the tango, El Choclo by Argentinian street musician Ángel Villoldo. El Choclo is one of the most famous tangos from the vast repertoire of this dance style that exists today, with other notable tangos including La Cumparsita, by Gerardo Matos Rodrígue, and Por Una Cabeza, by Carlos Gardel.
Often referred to as ‘the Father of tango’, Ángel Villoldo has also been described as a Bob Dylan
