He traces the threads that run from Africa, Spain and Cuba to the brothels of Buenos Aires, samples archive music from Carlos Gardel and Anibal Troilo , takes a dancing lesson from Peggy Spencer MBE and meets a tango exile in London,
Teddy Peiro. Plus a recorded interview with tango composer Astor Piazzolla , who died last year.
