The Archive is tango’s history inside TangoTube: who the milongueros, maestros and voices of Argentine tango were, what they said, and where you can watch them. It holds 645 published records, 5958 dated entries, 4651 sources and 269 transcribed conversations, and it grows as each new record is checked.
Where the facts come from
Every fact names its source: a biography, an obituary, an encyclopedia, a book, the press, or an interview. We link to sources rather than copy them, keep quotes short, and say who said them. When a claim comes from someone speaking in a video, it links to the second they said it. Research and transcription are done with the help of software, offline; nothing it produces reaches this site on its own.
Interviews are transcribed in the language they were spoken and translated into Spanish or English. Each transcript has a summary and chapters, so you can jump to the moment that matters.
How it is checked
Nothing shows until a person has read it and accepted it. A record appears on a dancer’s page only once it is published, and every date, quote and link inside it is accepted on its own.
- What someone says about themselves is shown as their own words, linked to the moment, until a written source agrees.
- When sources disagree, we say so under “accounts differ”, rather than choose silently.
- A date is shown as precisely as it is known: a year stays a year.
- We say “Follow” only for dancers confirmed living, “Remember” only when a reliable source confirms a death, and otherwise “Watch them on TangoTube”.
Credits and rights
Historical footage is credited to the channel that published it: “Video: <channel> (YouTube).” Full transcripts of other people’s interviews appear only once the channel has agreed; until then we show the summary, the chapters and short quotes that open the video.
