Some tango stories feel almost too poetic to be true.

In this episode, we explore the final performance of violinist Enrique Francini, who died onstage while playing Nostalgias; the unfinished tango Agustín Bardi was composing on the day he died; the borrowed names and streetcar rides of the young Alberto Podestá; and Francisco Lomuto’s decision to become a student again before becoming a maestro himself.

Four stories about endings, beginnings, humility, and the unexpected paths that helped shape tango history.
