Pablo Inza:
I immediately invited him to play at his regular Sunday milonga in the historic Ghika Palace. When over 100 people attending, the event was a success. This was nearly twuce as many attendees as the usual milongas in Bucharest. With this start, he begins to play tango for dancers in the milongas. Soon after that, other schools, like Tangotangent and Fabrica de Tango, began to organize events where he played live tango music.
It was during this time that he, with pianist Diana Zavalas, became advisors for the musicality aspects of the first Argentine tango book in Romanian, Manual de Tango by myself. This book was then presented at the Embajada de Argentina by His Excellency, Mr. Perez Paladino, Ambassador of Argentina in Romania. Tango Lessons in the name for the English edition of the book.
In 2009 Tudor recorded with Mihai Melinescu his first album of Latin American songs. In 2011, he recorded his first solo Argentinian Tango album, Flores de Alma.
In the past few years, he has performed concerts in Tel Aviv, Milano, Ankara, Istanbul, Vienna playing various styles music, including Argentine tango. He is a regular artist at Hanu’ Berarilor, the well known Bucharest restaurant, and Hanul Manuc, the oldest operating hotel in Bucharest.
Soon, a second milonga was planned, which was also a success and after that he was invited to other milongas to play live tango music. Because good news travel fast, people from nearby countries, such as Germany and Switzerland, discovered him from the tango forums on the Internet and invited him to play at their milongas, which allowed him to have numerous concerts in Toulouse, Caen, Dinoze, Basel, Kehl, Heidelberg, and other cities.
Today, you can still listen to Tudor Anghelescu playing authentic Argentine tango music, every other day. in Bucharest. If you are ever here, do not miss the chance to hear him!
After returning to Romania, he contacted all the tango schools and proposed playing at the local milongas. At first, there was little positive response. But, destiny often takes a hand. While he was playing on the terrace of a restaurant in Bucharest, he was approached by an independent milonga organizer at that time, namely me.
