After a class, just like after any non-tanda activity, a tanda of refreshing rhythmic music may be the best to "cleanse the palate" and to draw people on the floor. This time I'm trying something new - Tanturi's instrumentals.

The instrumental tanda is built around "El Internado", a theme recorded by D'Arienzo both early and late in his career. This tango was composed specifically for a ball of medical interns of Buenos Aires, an annual event which sent the tango life into a frenzy every time it happened - and which sent some of the brightest tango musicians into the European exile when the tradition had to end after a tragic accident. We are marking the 102nd anniversary of the first Baile del Internado this week - read more about it here and here. The other two songs in this tanda - Joaquina and Ataniche - are named after two remarkable tango women... please follow the links to read their tales!..

Palais de Glace soon after its 1910 opening (Wikipedia).
At first the building did function as a 3,300 sq ft ice rink,
but by 1912 it has already been re-purposed as a tango dance
pista ("El Tano" Genaro played at its grand opening),
and remained a tango hall until the disruptions of
the Great Depression years.
... and since we just mentioned the Primero Baile del Internados, 102 years ago, we may as well celebrate its famous venue, the Art Nouveau "Parisian import" Palais de Glace, immortalized in a song. I found this tango to be too rich on the airy piano sounds, almost reminiscent of Biagi, to fit easily into a D'Agostino tanda with his more flowing classics ... but one of our tangueros stopped at my desk to let me know how he liked it. A different tanda to mix is in order, perhaps?

Hugo Duval (1928-2003)
TodoTango image
Listening to brooding late Biagi's two nights ago at Milonga Sin Nombre, with "Esperame en el cielo" and "Soñemos" set as tanda centerpieces, I realized that I've never played Biagi-Duval tandas before, yet always looked forward to it. Hugo Duval is one those few great tango voices who were born too late to shine during the Golden Years, yet never wavered in their dedication to Tango (Nina Miranda belonged to this generation, too). After a brief stint with Raul Kaplun's tango orchestra, Duval joined Biagi in 1950, and stayed to the end. And then convened his own tango band dedicated to the memory of Rodolfo Biagi!

The 2013 Argentine public TV documentary series, "Tango, pasion argentina" is narrated by singer Walter "El Chino" Laborde, written by Liliana Escliar, and features great many modern musicians and orchestras. Only one of the 13 parts is about dancing, but there is an infinite variety of music and history and general culture information in the series, which is freely available on the internet. I can't even begin to cover all its topics... All I want to do is to touch on several moments which surprised me, and several observations which struck me.
The first part, "Tu cuna fue un conventillo" ("Your cradle was in a conventillo") mentions that in 1870-1910 Buenos Aires had 239 schools, 16 temples, and ... about 6000 houses of ill repute? Where do these numbers come from (so few churches??) And what kind of estabishments - brothels (prostibulos)? Boliche may generally be a night club, right? I already mentioned that tango historians Lamas and Binda insist that dancing was frequent in the drinking establishments but not in the prostibulos. The reason for this was the city ordnance which forbade both dancing and drinking in BsAs city brothels ... but then we can counter it again - like when was this law enforced, and what about suburbios - were there many brothels outside the city lines in the core tango barrios?
"With the arrival of the bandoneon with its sadness, Tango matured a little, and, like a teenager, has become prone to sentimental moods"
Inside Palais de Glace before a ball. From Maria's tango art site
El Chino gives the exact date of the 1st Balle del Internado a.k.a. Tango Clinic at Palais de Glace. Argentine Medical Interns' celebration was timed to the Students' Day, September 21, 1914. Although I also read that this date is incorrect and that the September 21, 1914 charity gala was held at a different location, "Splendid Theater", as a benefit for the medical library, and it was followed by a Fantasy Ball at Palais de Glace on September 24th. I wrote about these crazy celebrations of medicine and tango earlier ... and tonight it may be the time to celebrate it with "El Internado", "The Intern"?
"In 1917, Angel Villoldo said in an interview that he doesn't intend to keep composing tangos, because it's no longer in vogue. He died in 1919 - didn't live to see himself wrong".
Laborde described Nikanor Lima's 1916 Tango Salon dancing textbook as the earliest attempt to make not just tango music but also the actual dance decent and palatable to the high society in Argentina. The hundred years old book is lovingly preserved and commented at the social dance website of Stanford University.(Needless to say, I would be very surprised if any Argentines actually learned tango by this book!)
On the shift from improvised payadore-style verses to pre-set lyrics, and the revolution brough about by "Mi Noche Triste" in 1917: Informal / improvised lyrics, full of risque hints and double entendre - as is customary in the sex trade - dominated the early tangos. The same must be true with risque couplets in any language! With Contursi / Gardel's "Mi Noche Triste", the rough lunfardo slang remained in the lyrics, but now the verse has become a narrative, a story, with a straightforward meaning, and no indecent wordplay, no more bowdlerizations like "La c...ara de la l...una". (http://humilitan.blogspot.com/2014/12/milonga-del-centro-playlist-dec-7-2014.html)
"How do you know estribillista (refrain singer) from a true-blue tango singer?" For starters, refrain singer's name wasn't even printed anywhere on the billboard, tells us Laborde! But on July 1, 1937, for an opening night in Marabu, Anibal Troilo put Francisco Fiorentino's name on the billboards, That's how the singers' ascent to fame started, says Laborde. And soon after, we already see the star singer with one's special image, with unique onstage manners. They need to be watched, not just listened to. And soon after, chicas stop dancing, they freeze and watch their idol when the vocal segments begin...

featuring estribillo singer names.

(Of all the disputable statements and simplifying soundbites of the TV series, this part about cantor de orquesta and July 1937 caused the biggest uproar so far. Yes, Francisco Fiorentino is the archetypal tango orchestra singer, but his impact on the evolving styles of vocal tangos have started years earlier, yet didn't achieve full strength until Troilo's first wave of prolific recordings in 1941 ... and there were far too many others boldly experimenting with the best ways to include vocals into the danceable tango. The format of "Tango cancion", with its multiple vocal couplets and refrains "beginning to end", was made famous hundred years ago by "Mi Noche Triste", and remained extremely popular through the years, but it wasn't considered "tango for dancing". Francisco Canaro credits himself with experimenting with part-vocal tango formats starting in the 1920s, first with only the refrain (estribillo) sung, then gradually going bolder with added stanzas, yet always keeping the requisite long instrumental intros and transitions. In his in-depth analysis, Jens-Ingo Brodesser shows how Carabelli, Fresedo, and Donato all developed stanzas-and-refrains tango formats in the early-to-mid 1930s. Of note also, we don't know how Fiorentino sang in Marabu in 1937, but we do know that the "legend of nameless singer" isn't quite right and in fact RCA Victor started putting estribillista names on record labels as early as in 1933.)
"Muerte y resurrección", "Death and resurrection of tango" (I was fascinated by this Dark Age period of tango history too, and wrote about it at length already). The "death" section spans the 1960s. Ricardo Mejia's disastrous management of RCA and "Nueva Ola". Deluge of Western music. Parallel rise of the countryside tunes, of the folklore and Palito Ortega. Mortal conflict of the New Wave "movement" with Pugliese. But some tango life still goes on... Amazingly, La Falda festival of tango begins in a little town in Cordoba province, 500 miles from BsAs, in 1965. Sexteto Mayor forms in 1973. Ben Molar commissions "14 con el Tango".Still, tango survives mostly by lingering in the retrospective TV programs, and on the for-export LPs.
The nail in the coffin of the old tango may have been the untimely death of Julio Sosa in a car accident on November 26 1964 - "El Varón del Tango", only 38 years old, was still loved by the young fans even in the times of Nueva Ola.
Cucuza at El Viejo Almacen
In the big city counterculture scene, new music cafes sustain the remnants of tango. Caño Catorce Cafe - "Drainage Pipe 14" - opened in March 1962. The name of the establishment is said to have been suggested by drunk Troilo, muttering, "of course we'll go down the drain soon after opening" (and the number 14 signifies drunkards). Over the years, it's become almost synonymous with tango music. It operated until 1986, and later reopened with almost the same fame. In 1969, Ruben Juarez debuted on bando at this cafe.
El Viejo Almacen - "The Old Warehouse" bar opens in on May 9, 1969 as Edmundo Rivero's project, named after the opening line from the old tango, Sentimento Gaucho, sung by Gardel in 1925 ... it is the place of gathering of all dejected and hopeless. By the way, this location hosted a cafe and bowling alley way back in the 1900s, operating under the name "Volga" by a Russian emigre, Paula Kravnik, In this still from the video, Hernán 'Cucuza' Castiello sings Sentimento Gaucho at the location.
The serial doesn't have much to say about the 1970s. Too dark, too hopeless. For the resurrection scene, they segway straight to November 11, 1983, when Tango Argentino opens to rave reviews at Festival d'Automne in Paris.
After it's over :) 5:15 AM on Labor Day Monday morning
Denver Turnverein! It's such an honor to DJ at this beautiful, venerable dance hall, at the historic Labor Day Tango Festival, now rechristened Tango on the Rocks (hey, one day we shall answer the naming challenge with "Tango Chilled Neat", the Russian way)!
The flip side is that I have to leave my most beloved Cheesman Park colonnade milonga early to catch a small nap before my work shift. By 10:30 pm - when DJ Martin was just about to play La Cumparsita at Cheesman's - we are already at the venue, beautifully decorated by the original artwork by Amber Schneider & Tiffiny Wine and by Jesica Cutler's paper creations for the event. And I start playing-and-sound-testing right away. The guests begin to trickle in right after the official 11 pm opening time; the first track with dancers on the floor is Hugo Diaz's slow-longa. Thence, the real milonga play-set begins.

We just marked 26th anniversary of Viktor Tsoi's untimely death, and I start from a snippet of his song marked by this foreboding, opening with a question, "How many more songs am I destined to write?".

So it's now time to mellow it out, and to pave way for a transition to a mid-allnighter's dramatic peak, the one which I would normally reserve for the crescendo of the final hour of a shorter milonga.

First song to drive people onto the floor, the final one like a dessert after a meal course, right? But exceptions happen, and in the following dramatic contemporary classic tanda I felt that I needed to make the 3rd song the strongest! Why? Because it was dictated by the logic of the developing theme - from dramatic melody towards raw grounded energy. I already wrote about Ojos de Tango, and their singularly beautiful bandleader, here - and about the exceptional nature of their "El adios", making it so difficult to match it with their other, less powerful tracks. The following night at the Avalon, Marc Hussner tried to prove me wrong, starting an Ojos tanda with "El adios" and continuing with diminishing energy. It actually felt better than I expected, but still the drive was kind of dissipating towards the end. Do you have better ideas how to use this great record in a tanda? Want to share?

The catch with these type of cortinas is that for the tangueros who sit them out, the energy may sag with every additional minute of a musical break. Five-plus minutes long salsa interludes invariably do this to myself! So tonight, I mostly stick with approximately 2 minute long pre-cut "danceable cortinas" instead of the full-length tracks. Couldn't make a logical cut of this one, though:

And guess what? The tired tangueras break into an exuberant dance :)
