An entity founded on May 8, 1954, in Montevideo, Uruguay and that extended its work until 1973. Formed by pioneers: Horacio Ferrer, the architects Jorge Seijo and Carlos Vallarino, painter Mario Arroyo, the tango researcher Boris Puga, the Argentine lawyer Luis Sierra and journalist Horacio Loriente. The club promoted weekly activities, on its premises - a cosy cellar - on Soriano y Minas street; it published the Tangueando magazine and it organized a series of concerts in halls and theaters with performances of groups and figures such as Octeto Buenos Aires, the orchestras of Horacio Salgán and Aníbal Troilo, Edmundo Rivero, Raul Berón, the Caesar Zagnoli trio, the Quinteto de la Guardia Nueva, the quintet Silveira-De la Puente and other interpreters. In addition, the club promoted the publication on phonographic records in the works of Troilo, Piazzolla, Salgán and the septimino of Luis Pasquet. In 1963 El Club de la Guardia Nueva split up, forming another institution: Gente de Tango, but in every way, both institutions can be considered a single one, in their work of diffusion and promotion of the vanguard forms of the tango.
