Episode 4 of Tangos Despreciados: censorship in the world of tango. On street language, drunkenness and social criticism in tango lyrics that were not appreciated by the Argentine right-wing military regimes.
The vast cultural wealth of tango music was not appreciated by everyone. Between 1943 and 1949, tango was actively censored by the military regime of the time, of which Juan Perón became the elected president in 1945. But other periods were also marked by censorship. One of the victims of censorship was the use of Lunfardo, the street language of Buenos Aires.
