D'Arienzo and Di Sarli are very popular to dance to. Piazzola is a ‘modern’ favourite but hard to dance to. Great Classic bands playing today are Sexteto Mayor and Color Tango. There is also a host of new techno or neo tango bands, such as Narcotango the best known of which is Gotan Project. Many people delight in finding ‘tango’ tunes amongst other popular forms – such as Grace Jones ‘I’ve seen that Face Before’ and Leonard Cohen’s’Dance me to the end of Love’ or film music such as Yumegi’s theme from ‘In the Mood for Love ‘ , Amélie’s theme (Amélie)or the upbeat ‘Roxanne’ from Moulin Rouge.
