El Club de la Guardia Nueva
Founded May 8, 1954


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.

Notes:

  1. En 1989, Horacio Ferrer created  the Academia Nacional del Tango in Buenos Aires, which he presides.
  2. Boris Puga, who wrote the initial and fundamental discography on Gardel and lent his 78rpm Gardel collection for the production of "Todo Gardel" collection.

  3. Horacio Loriente. From his excellent 78rpm discs, "Gardel Serie para Coleccionistas" collection was produced.
