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?

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!
