El Choclo
Few works are as closely associated with the history of Argentine tango as El Choclo. Composed by Ángel Villoldo in 1903, the piece quickly became one of the most celebrated and enduring tangos ever written, helping to establish the genre's distinctive sound and international appeal. More than a century later, its unforgettable melody and vibrant character continue to captivate audiences around the world.
This arrangement for violin and cello by Hirono Borter reimagines the tango classic for an intimate chamber music setting while preserving the rhythmic vitality and expressive spirit of the original. A cornerstone of the traditional tango repertoire, El Choclo remains an audience favorite and an essential addition to any tango-inspired concert program.
