Tango Nuevo, which infuses classical forms and jazz elements into the traditional tango music of Argentina, was so controversial in the beginning that Piazzolla had his life threatened on numerous occasions. Born out of the bordellos of Buenos Aires, its passion and its sensuality characterize its music. With his innovative style and desire to "legitimize" the tango, Piazzolla was persuaded by his composition teacher, the renowned pedagogue, Nadia Boulanger, to concentrate on the music of his heritage and develop his own style rather than continue on as a purely classical composer. He changed the face of music forever with the birth of his new genre, "Tango Nuevo". Not only did Piazzolla revolutionize tango through the infusion of classical and jazz elements but also by including unusual instrumentation, often fusing electronic and acoustic sounds such as the saxophone and electric guitar.
