"Tracing Tangueros is required reading not only for scholars of Tango but also for those interested in the multidimensional juncture of music, dance, lyrics, and culture. Befitting the subject matter, Kacey Link and Kristin Wendland offer intellectually intimate and provocative research articulated in a uniquely graceful and elegant prose."--Juan Chattah, University of Miami - Frost School of Music
"Tracing Tangueros is an excellent introduction to the knowledge, comprehension and study of instrumental tango music. The book offers precise information about the genre to those who are outside the tango world. However, those who are deeply involved with the genre will find challenging ideas about how tango is seen and valued worldwide. Listeners and dancers, musicians and scholars will find it most useful and a good read."--Omar García Brunelli, Instituto Nacional de Musicología "Carlos Vega", Buenos Aires, Argentina
