Osvaldo Pedro Pugliese (1905-1995) was a beloved Argentine tango musician. He developed dramatic arrangements that retained strong elements of the walking beat of salon tango but also heralded the development of concert-style tango music. So says Wikipedia... it makes him sound a bit dull. If you know Pugliese, you know he's anything but. His music is fit for a Hollywood action movie; and that's how people often dance to it.
