Dear Carlos,

I don’t know anybody playing Double Bass, so I can’t really help you. I forwarded your message to a friend who might know a double bass player. If this person is interested, he might contact you directly.

Dear Sir/madame.

I have with me an instrument ( double bass ) from the one of the most important Tango players of all times. My question if you can recommend me a collector that can be interested adding the instrument to his collection, I will appreciate your help and directions in this matter.

Sincerely yours Carlos Diaz

A tango boom hit Japan around 1937 that started in the dancehalls. Japanese musicians composed new tango tunes, beginning with ‘Tango wo Odoroyo’ (Let’s Dance Tango).

Thanks Simon! I will check out this book when I go to Bs.As. this December.

I have a set of 9 Cds with the same title “Tango en Japon”. It’s a box set with recordings from key Japanese tango orchestras and singers, plus a small book introducing history of tango in Japan. All in Japanese, of course.
