I remember the late great Pedro "Tete" Rusconi saying something like when you dance vals you should feel like you're flying. Just listen to the bandoneon on "Junto al mar" and get ready for take off!

Alfredo De Angelis

To get more inspiration for new tandas I sometimes like to watch tango videos on YouTube. The maestros perform to excellent songs and from one of these videos I found this version of the first song of this tanda "Llevatelo todo". Check out also the fantastic late 20's instrumental version from Luis Petrucelli!
