The Rough Guide to Tango is a world music compilation album originally released in 1999. Part of the World Music Network Rough Guides series,[1] the album presents the tango music of Argentina with an eye toward the history of the genre, featuring 78 rpm recordings to tracks of the modern day.[2] Teddy Peiro & Tom Andrews wrote the liner notes, and Phil Stanton—co-founder of the World Music Network—produced and compiled the album.[3][4] This release was followed by a second edition a decade later.

Allmusic[2]

Alex Henderson of AllMusic called the album "far-reaching", demarcating within the tracks the "two types of tango: before and after Astor Piazzolla" (whose influence on the genre, he claimed, was comparable to that of Charlie Parker's on jazz).[2]
