Tanda of the Week 19 / 2013 - Rodolfo Biagi con Hugo Duval (DJ Thomas Hildebrandt)


1. Rodolfo Biagi / Hugo Duval - "Solamente dios y yo" 1958
2. Rodolfo Biagi / Hugo Duval - "Espérame en el cielo" 1958
3. Rodolfo Biagi / Hugo Duval - "Aquí en la tierra" 1958
4. Rodolfo Biagi / Hugo Duval - "Ayúdame" 1960

More Biagi with Duval (check out the previous tandas)! This time from DJ Thomas Hildebrandt from Bamberg, Germany. Thank you Thomas! Here's what he had to say about the tanda:

"This is an unusual tanda for me, since I'm mostly a fan of the great rhythmical tangos from the 1930s and 40s. But I got caught in Duval's dramatism and the religious severity of the lyrics, accompanied by the late Biagi's haggish piano. I played this tanda recently in our milonga Dos Corazones in Fürth where it was met with spontaneous applause and curious requests; one dancer later remarked the tanda was "so coherent as if it was composed as a suite". Our milonga is set in a charming art atelier located in a former church – quite fitting for this kind of music. Duval's sentimental voice carries us through different forms of non-existent love: desired, missing, impossible, and lost, and combines this with themes of prayer, afterlife, and renunciation, only to climax in a devoted... but listen yourself!"

Tanda of the Week 17 / 2013 -
Juan D'Arienzo con Armando Laborde y Alberto Echagüe



1. Juan D'Arienzo / Armando Laborde - "Color cielo" 1944 - iTunes
2. Juan D'Arienzo / Alberto Echagüe - "Después" 1944 - iTunes
3. Juan D'Arienzo / Armando Laborde - "Si supiera que la extraño" 1945 - iTunes
4. Juan D'Arienzo / Alberto Echagüe - "No nos veremos nunca" 1944 - iTunes

This is a guest dj tanda sent to us by DJ Paolino Fierro, who is a resident musicalizador in Salon Baires Milonga in Naples (Italy). He began playing music in 2005 in many italian milongas and also in Argentina. Paolino says that "Milonga is like tomato sauce. It begins to cook when it starts to boil". Thank you Paolino for the tanda!

These songs are from a clearly different phase in the career of D'Arienzo and in tango in general. After the music of especially D'Arienzo getting more and more upbeat and stronger, in the mid 40's even D'Arienzo slowed down and recorded songs that had shifted some of the emphasis on the compas to a more melodic approach. These songs are a great selection of some of the finest D'Arienzo from that time period and the tanda features both Alberto Echagüe and Armando Laborde on the vocals. Unfortunately most of the songs available online are in poor quality but hopefully they will be featured soon on the growing collection of Juan D'Arienzo recordings on TangoTunes.com.
