Influence
and Legacy 
The World Tango Community Thanks
you!
You did a great job! But you are not done
yet.
Gardel is safe, and we thank you!
However, now it would be a good time to
analyze why it was so important to save him.
What do you think?
Use these questions as a guide, and discuss
your ideas as a group.
-
How did Gardel influence Tango? How did he influence
the world around him?
-
Why was he so popular? What did people do because
of him?
-
Did he have nicknames or titles attached to his
name?
-
Why is he an icon? What is a cultural icon, in
your own words?
-
What happened when he died? How did people react?
-
How do people talk about him today?
-
Have his songs been performed by other singers?
-
What did Gardel leave for us?
-
Does this make him immortal?
Research
a little on some of these questions. Then sit down with your group and
talk about it. What do you think?
Practice
your listening skills and ask each other questions like "why do you think
that?" or "what makes you think that?"
Encourage
each other to participate and to question. Take notes.
Write
a brief paragraph as a conclusion to your discussion.
