Playlists

Here are the links to the playlists for each chapter. These playlists use the online listening service spotify. We’ve also added youtube links. Currently Spotify is available in Western Europe, North America (USA & Canada), Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore, as well as Argentina, Uruguay and Chile. We have provided links both for use with the application and within a web browser.
Spotify is free, but funded by advertising. (You can get rid of the advertisements by buying a subscription).

  1. Listening to tango music: Spotify playlist: application / browser

In the playlists we use the abbreviation (v) for a vals and (m) for a milonga. You’ll also see these Spanish words used for the vocalists:

  • estribillo: sings just one chorus (refrain)
  • canta: sings the whole lyric
  • glosa: declaims the glosa (a lyric poem) over the music

If you want to download the playlists, it’s possible but only with Spotify Premium. Note that the downloaded lists only work in the spotify application. It’s not the same as buying the music in e.g. itunes.

  1. By the way, you don’t have to have a facebook account to use spotify (or to link your facebook account to Spotify if you do have one). On the sign-up page on the spotify website you’ll see at the bottom of the page, “create an account using your e-mail address”.
