Milonga Nuestra Playlist, March 6 2015

Congratulations to Maria & Atakan & all the students and guests for the very successful launch of the newest Utah milonga!! So glad to have been there to help! WTG DF Studio!

People prodded me to break the "habit" of starting playlists from Di Sarli's rich instrumentals, like "this stuff is so good, why not save it for later at night" :) So we have 1930s Fresedo here:
01. Osvaldo Fresedo - Instrumental  "Tigre viejo" 1934 3:01
02. Osvaldo Fresedo - Instrumental  "Arrabalero" 1939 2:32
03. Osvaldo Fresedo - Instrumental  "Pimienta" 1939 2:52
04. Juan D'Arienzo - Instrumental  "La viruta" 1936 2:20
05. Juan D'Arienzo - Instrumental  "Champagne tango" 1938 2:26
06. Juan D'Arienzo - Instrumental  "El choclo (2)" 1937-07-26 2:35
A cortina tune too familiar to the Russian ear. This Brazilian 1996 hit was soon spoofed / remixed in Russian, its refrain line "Bate forte o tambor" (Hit the drums hard ) becoming a sound-imitating nonsensical "Мальчик хочет в Тамбов". A fiery beat combined with preposterous lyrics and a superb voice of an ethnic Uyghur crooner Murat Nasyrov made it a super-hit of Russia's hard times. 


07. Carrapicho  "Tic Tic Tac cortina 2" 0:18
(and BTW I needed slightly longer cortinas than I used ... North Church's usual 20-second clips didn't cut it for DF's hall, maybe because of the geometry of the room, maybe because of the attendance... I'll need 30-35 seconds next time)

An alternative tanda, just one, by Atakan's request. It takes me quite a bit longer to put these together - memory just doesn't serve up the possibilities as quickly as with the classics. I love these records and at the same time I don't have an instant vision where and how they fit together!

Maruja Pacheco Huergo (1916-1983)

"Triqui trá", the final and the most most mischievous tango of the following tanda, has been created specially for Lita Morales by Maruja Pacheco, one of the most versatile female talents of tango. An actress, a musician, a singer, a poet, and a composer who left a very strong mark on the masterpieces of Donato's orchestra. Alas, Maruja also left the world of tango for good after Lita was made to leave it. She made the second career as an author of children's songs.
"Triqui tra" may be too light-hearted to be easily mixed into a tanda, and it isn't commonly played. Here I start from a slightly more bitter "Sinsabor" before continuing to Lita's more playful records,
