Tango Is Alive! | Tandas

This week's tanda features instrumentals recorded in 1961 by the orchestra of José Basso.

This week's tanda features three 1950s valses by the orchestra of Roberto Caló.

Let's do another Golden Age tango tanda this week, this time featuring the orchestra of Lucio Demare with his singer Horacio Quintana.

I went to my archives for a traditional tango tanda and found this one with the neglected orchestra of José García and his singer, Alfredo Rojas.

These milongas are relaxed, a bit drunk, and not at all pretentious.

I return to my old passion for heart-rending 1950s and 1960s tangos because nothing works better for keeping one's mental state within the healthy range during the COVID lockdown, now does it?

I give you a tanda with four different orchestras giving hommage to Miguel Caló.

I give you an instrumental tanda built around a popular birthday vals, Lágrimas y sonrisas.

I am bringing back the Tanda of the week to help speed up the return of milongas, even as it is just my wishful thinking. But, we can at least tune in mentally. We can imagine things. And who else could guide us through this dream than the legedary dream-weaver Osvaldo Pugliese with his trusted singer, Alberto Morán.

I bring you the orchestra of Enrique Francini with his Majesty, Alberto Podestá.
