Practilonga del Centro playlist, May 2016

Apologies for posting the list so late! (And out of order). The Denver trip, and a DJing assignment there, took a lot of my time.

the Di Sarli tanda was thought of as a "after-class moderate-pace practice music for all", but it felt strangely dissatisfying...

Canaro's legacy is so inexhaustible that it probably isn't surprising that I continue to discover its new facets for myself. This month, it's Eduardo Adrian's vocals. He joined Canaro's orchestra at the age of 18 (but already having an experience of a theater soloist), after Canaro's lead vocalists, Ernesto Fama and Francisco Amor, quit to join forces with OTV's great director Federico Scorticati (alas, their orchestra didn't leave behind any recordings...) Young Eduardo Adrian recorded with Canaro and participated in his theater plays for just over two years, before moving on to a rich career of a theater actor and an intellectual, but their short collaboration produced quite remarkable tangos and valses
