El Esquinazo
Composed by Ángel Villoldo, El Esquinazo is one of the best-known works of the early tango era and remains a beloved staple of the traditional Argentine repertoire. Written during tango's formative years, the piece helped popularize the genre both in Argentina and abroad, capturing the spirited rhythms, memorable melodies, and unmistakable character that would come to define tango music.
This arrangement for violin and cello by Hirono Borter brings Villoldo's classic tango into the chamber music setting while preserving its vitality and charm.
