Before Astor Piazzolla, the Tango music from Rio de la Plata enjoyed periodic moments of international popularity but always as dance music, mostly played in nightclubs and in the radio. Piazzolla put music into the concert hall and, buy doing that, he opened a complete new field for performers and composers from Rio de la Plata.
