Fascinating! It's likely that Pugliese's orchestra played for the audience, and probably dancers who attended.

Mario Alan ("Alito" born May 13,1929) Candamil once told me that he signed up for a tango competition in Luna Park. When he heard that his friend Juan Carlos Copes (born May 31,1930) was also registered, Alito changed to the jazz category and didn't compete against a friend. Copes won the tango competition.

I'd like to ask the young competitors of the World Tango Championship about the history of tango competitions in Luna Park. Most probably have no idea that there were dance competitions held in Luna Park in the 1940s on.
