Milonga Sin Nombre has just become a four-hours party, and you may notice that my playlist track count has become 3-digital! And what a nice crowd it was!
We started a few minutes behind schedule and the first tanda (of course late instrumental Di Sarli again!) didn't have anyone on the floor yet, but then guest after guest joined in quick succession.
001. Carlos di Sarli - Instrumental "Rodríguez Peña" 1956 3:18
002. Carlos di Sarli - Instrumental "Bahia Blanca" 1957 2:54
003. Carlos di Sarli - Instrumental "Indio Manso" 1958 2:57
It surprised me quite a bit when a guest without any Russian roots recognized the tune of this cortina, made out of an all-times Soviet hit, originally a Latvian song with the new lyrics by a renowned Russian poet retelling a legendary episode of life of a Georgian artist who covered a whole city street with flowers to prove his devotion to his beloved.
004. Alla Pugacheva "Million Scarlet Roses" 1982 0:19
005. Enrique Rodriguez - Armando Moreno "Mi piba linda" 1943 2:51
006. Enrique Rodriguez - Roberto Flores "Son cosas de bandoneon" 1936 2:42
007. Enrique Rodriguez - Armando Moreno "Como has cambiado pebeta" 1942 2:37
And this cortina, as well as the following one, come from one of the pioneers of Russian rock - the most mysterious and the least known of them all, Zhanna of aliases and reportedly fake ids and surprising disappearings and returns to public life:
008. Zhanna Aguzarova "Cats" 1987 0:21
I think it wouldn't be an exaggeration to claim that "the" tango vals of the 1990s and early 2000s was "Corazon de oro", "The heart of gold", a tune originally recorded by Francisco Canaro in 1928 in tribute to his mother Rafaela. We all grew in the shadow of this grand slow vals, but few people know that for his present to Mom, Canaro recycled an unsuccessful tango he recorded less than a year earlier. Listen starting from 33 seconds on:
Early on, the slow Canaro valses with their deliberate main beat were the only ones I understood; then I left them behind, but more recently I discovered a lot more nuance in these old records, and I
am tempted to play them again. Here is a tanda with Ada Falcón, the green-eyed muse of Canaro's 1930s. Canaro changed the tempo and the musical structure of his tangos to showcase Ada's powerful voice, but he wouldn't leave his wife to be with her. By 1942, the not-too-well-hidden affair came to light, with Canaro's wife threatening divorce and financial ruin to Francisco, and death to Ada. The singer quit, never to perform again, locking herself in a convent and staying there for ... 60 years! She died at the age of 96, having far outlived all her famed suitors. (The last of the tree records may be too complicated for one of the starting tandas of a milonga... as early as in 1933, Canaro already appears to be concerned more about showcasing Ada's voice than about satisfying the dancers' tastes).

Of course "Invierno" is the most famous record of the following Canaro's tanda, but I'm getting more and more affectionate to "Mi noche triste", the best remix of the 1915 guitar classic which forever changed the world of tango by introducing sadness, loss, and nostalgia to its lyrics:

I quizzed the event-goers ahead of time if we should include a chacarera (I think for the first time in local milonga history!) but I didn't see some of these chacarera-lovers in attendance, so I asked for a show of hands again. Looks like we got 4 couples ready to roll? So it's a go! (If you ever needs mnemonics for the chacarera sequence of steps, then I suggest D8OZOZO+ as in diamonds - two small circles - full circle - zapateo+sarandeo etc.)

The third of De Angelis valses in this tanda has an unusual texture and powerful drive, and it turns out to be... not quite Argentinian.aThe composer is Argentine, and the first guitar recording has been made there in the 1930s, only to be promptly forgotten. The score got a second chance in the 1950s, when a Peruvian-inspired "vals criollo" was suddenly all the rage. Soon it was discovered by a visiting Frechwoman, Edit Piaf, and never lost its popularity in the decades which ensued. Lots of modern remixes, often not waltz-y at all. Edit Piaf's French lyrics version below:
082. Alfredo de Angelis - Carlos Dante, Julio Martel "Soñar y nada más" 1944 3:08
083. Alfredo de Angelis - Carlos Dante "A Magaldi" 1947 2:50
