For all dancers building a tango music collection is important. Eventually I would like to provide a much more comprehensive list of albums you might wish to add to your collection, but in the interest of getting things going here is my suggestions for where to start.
Incidentally, if you want to know more about me you can find a mini bio on the Providence Tango website under bios.

Juan D'Arienzo -
King of Rhythm 1937-1944
Rey del Compas 1936-1939
Juan D'Arienzo is by far the most popular Tango Orchestra Leader in history. His personality and music changed the way tango was played by every orchestra thereafter. His predominant accomplishment was to make tango danceable again after it became listening music in the early 30's. There would not be tango as we know it if not for D'Arienzo. He is known as the King of Rhythm because of the rhythmic nature of his music. You should hear D'Arienzo every milonga you ever attend.
