That same passion will be reflected in the exhibition, that will not only bring to the present day those glorious compositions but also others that may not have been so well known., but today they are part of the tango songbook par excellence.

Some of the covers are replicas of originals. Others were specially redesigned by Nicolás De Brun based on illustrations of other tangos of the time that are not so well known today., but that maintain the same spirit or situations as those that are part of the selected corpus.

Each sheet is accompanied by a QR where an audiovisual version of the tango it presents is housed., in the hands of artists like Julio Iglesias, Sarah Montiel, Joan Manuel Serrat, Luis Miguel and Louis Armstrong, among others, or movie scenes in which they were incorporated. The set serves to account for the international projection that this music has had over the years..
