Tango Profiles is a monthly podcast that tells the story of each of the most important composers in the history of Tango. 

The idea is to put faces to the names of the people who created tango.

Adam Tully produces and hosts Tango Profiles from Buenos Aires.  These audio essays have appeared on The Death of Tango, a radio show on WPRB Princeton, and are being released in podcast form starting in 2017.
