Reviews

On one level, The Tango Machine fills a surprising gap in the English-language literature, serving the need for an analytical yet accessible monograph on contemporary tango. Yet it does much more than this: it also treats tango as a case study of music as a multi-faceted cultural resource in the age of expediency, and its theorization of how music is used in Buenos Aires, the managerial regimes that organize it, and the multiplicity of values, contradictions, and synergies that it accrues, will shed light far beyond Argentina. --Geoffrey Baker, Royal Holloway, University of London
