Picture of a Típica
The other day I had this mysterious Carlos Di Sarli RCA vinyl LP in my hands. Mysterious because of a picture on the back cover which doesn’t seem to be contemporary to the recordings contained on the album. The record’s title is “Lo mejor de Carlos Di Sarli”. On the front cover there is a […]

Soy cantor – The evolution of the tango singer
In the elder days of the tango, but also in other genres of the time, the singer’s role has been considered to be no more than that of another instrument. Estonishingly the early singers somehow camouflage into the line of the other instruments of the orchestra. This has been the fashion during…

News from Don Esteban
On the 3rd of July 1936 the Juan D’Arienzo orchestra recorded the tango Don Esteban. Most reeditions, especially from the RCA Víctor company, for which the tango has been recorded in 1936, contain a different version as the one which can be found on the japanese CD-collection CTA (Club Tango...

El cencerro
Since quite recently I observe a general shift in tango djing. A lot of DJs are today putting a lot of effort into recovering the most authentic sound in the milongas. This translates into investing in high end sound devices, prefering lossless sound formats over lossy codecs, analysing sound…

Darienzando
I finally have some time to put all these D’Arienzo records I received over the past months into the digital form. They are all in a perfect state. No comparison to the CdT Vol. 26 – 48 compact discs which also cover the years 1957-1975 of the Juan D’Arienzo Orquestra and which I process in […]

Tubatangueando
A couple of months ago I had the pleasure to assist a live concert of La Tubatango at a local milonga. After half of their performance they just settled down in the middle of the dance floor and had the dancers dancing around them. Quite some fun to a fresh and happy sounding orchestra. La […]

Time stretching too fast El Bandoneón recordings
I was recently looking at the Edgardo Donato recordings in my collection when I noticed that some of the same tangos produced at the same recording date differ in duration. Certain El Bandoneón recordings are of a shorter duration than the corresponding recordings from other labels. I recalled…
