El tango se desplegoacute; en el centro de una sociedad especiacute;fica compuesta por una masa de inmigrantes que se aglomeraba en los conventillos portentilde;os. Fue tomando diferentes medios de expresioacute;n: la muacute;sica; la cancioacute;n y la danza; sin letras en sus comienzos; pero enunciando un importante nuacute;mero de sensaciones de todos aquellos hombres de trabajo que iban convirtiendo a Buenos Aires en la gran urbe. Gustavo Varela nos muestra al tango como una expresioacute;n popular cuya raiacute;z es social y poliacute;tica. Nos trae; ademaacute;s de los temas que identificaban a aquellos hombres; la cara graacute;fica de esas primeras composiciones; prostibularias; alegres; dramaacute;ticas; nostaacute;lgicas y sentimentales. Una pasioacute;n; la del tango; ilustrada con las tapas de las partituras antiguas; que exponen los aspectos psicoloacute;gicos y sociales de aquellos individuos de las primeras deacute;cadas que; en una de las ciudades maacute;s cosmopolitas de la eacute;poca; dieron nacimiento al tango. Guillermo Fernaacute;ndez

19 of 19 people found the following review helpful. Very well done - please make more!!!By S. CampbellI purchased the Pop Rock; Classic Rock; Hard Rock; and Funk volumes of this series. Funk has not yet been released; but this review applies equally to the three volumes Ive received.I love play-along sets like this; but have never been happy with sound-alikes. (Liberty DeVittos book is excellent; because you get to play with Billys band.) In this case; the musicianship is of such a high caliber that you can really settle into the grooves and feel like youre playing along with the original artists.You cant please everybody; but Hal Leonard has done a great job at choosing songs that feature good grooves and interesting drum parts. No Reply At All; Peg; and Rosanna just feel so good to play along with. I cannot wait for the Funk volume with James Brown and Tower of Power; among others.There are no vocals and no click except for a count-in; when warranted. Those are not negatives. The lack of a click threw me in Come Together; for example. With no vocals to fill those breaks; it took some concentration to nail the downbeat of the next section. Thats excellent in my opinion; and can only help to improve my own internal click.I can see where this would be a useful addition to any drum instructors repertoire. Some students find it easier to stay motivated when playing along with songs they know. Its also a useful tool for practicing your engineering skills. Record yourself playing along and experiment with different drum tunings; micing; eq; effects; etc.; to try and get the best recorded sound possible.I hope this series gets a strong reception in the drum community. Thats very selfish of me; because I would like to see these sets just keep coming. Throw some more Police; Steely Dan; Rush (none yet); Zeppelin (none yet); etc.; into the mix. Keep the same quality and strong selection of songs; and I will be a customer for as long as you keep releasin em.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. and the sound quality was good; but no slow downBy Marc BerrensonCouldnt slow or adjust the tempo. Downloaded software to do that; but it didnt work on either of my computers that have a disc drive. The screen displayed a "light show"; and the sound quality was good; but no slow down. Still; I liked it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Lorraine M JossundGreat!
