Protocoleando is an instrumental Tango composed by Osvaldo Pugliese.
“Protocoleando,” as interpreted by the esteemed Tango Orchestra Osvaldo Pugliese, unfolds like a mesmerizing journey through the intricate landscapes of human emotion. The piece begins with a solemn yet inviting introduction, characterized by the rich harmonies of the bandoneón, setting the tone for a sophisticated dance of traditions and formalities—hints at the very essence of “protocolo,” or “protocol,” in English.
As the piece progresses, the strings take the lead, weaving a tapestry of melodies that dance elegantly between formality and a spirited desire to break free. The piano, played with Pugliese’s signature style, offers punctuated phrases that suggest a dialogue—a negotiation, if you will—between adhering to norms and pushing the boundaries of expression. This reflects the delicate balance of “protocoleando,” inferring a playful reinterpretation of adhering to social codes.
The rhythm section provides a solid foundation, grounding the piece with a sense of dignity and respect, yet allowing for flurries of exuberant passages that hint at the joy of mastering the art of the protocol. The music sways gracefully, capturing the essence of a formal dance while infusing it with the unmistakable passion and soul of the tango.
Osvaldo Pugliese’s genius as a composer and conductor shines through in “Protocoleando.” He brings together his deep understanding of tango’s traditional roots and his innovative spirit to create a piece that resonates with both historical respect and artistic freedom.
“Protocoleando” exemplifies Pugliese’s ability to transform the concept of protocol—often seen as rigid and unyielding—into a dynamic and living form of expression, interwoven with the unmistakable depth and complexity of tango music. The piece not only showcases Pugliese’s mastery but also highlights his orchestra’s capability to convey powerful emotions through skillful musicianship.
