THE ACES OF RHYTHM

Directed by Pablo Aslan, the Aces of Rhythm is a Tango Sextet that pays tribute to the music and the style of legendary band leader Juan D'Arienzo.

D'Arienzo's nickname was "The King of Rhythm" because of his unstoppable beat that created a revolution in Argentine Tango and propelled thousands of dancers to the dance floor

The sextet plays D'Arienzo's arrangements that have been transcribed from his original music.

About Juan D'Arienzo

Juan d'Arienzo (December 14, 1900 – January 14, 1976) was an Argentine tango musician, also known as "El Rey del Compás" (King of the Beat). He was son of Italian immigrants and used more modern arrangements and instrumentation; his popular group produced hundreds of recordings. His music is played often at milongas in Buenos Aires, and the instrumentals are the classic harder rhythmic tangos with a strong staccato dance rhythm.

D'Arienzo contributed a fresh, juvenile, enlivening air to tango. Tango, had been an ostentatious, challenging, almost gymnastic dance. D'Arienzo gave tango back to the dancers´feet and with that he made the tango attractive to a younger audience. That gained him his nickname: "El Rey del Compás" (The King of Rhythm)
