hi Banya,
how r u? i hope u r good.
Canyengue...i took 2 clases almost 4 years ago. it's interesting n simple if someone listen to music well.
i am not sure about the history of Canyengue as dance....just heard that people danced on the street that was made of stones. so they could not walk well like as dancing in the salon. so u can imagine how they used to dance.
the music of that period was faster than middle of 1910's. it was la 2 por 4. as dancing at the salon, the music was changed as la 4 por 8. of course from the middle of 1910´s. bla bla bla...
anyway, normally people dance Canyengue with the music by F.Canaro n T.Victor of 1930 more or less. or by quinteto Princho or cuarteto Firpo.
for example, Don Juan, Ninio Bien, Rodriguez Penia, Chorra by T.Victor.
but by Quinteto Princho or Cuarteto Firpo sounds like as Guardia vieja.
i think u can enjoy Canyengue with T.Victor.
i hope it helps u.
take care...
Carlos in Bs.As.
