Many new cortinas tonight, mostly from Argentine and Polish rock of the decades past.
008. Soda Stereo  "Profugos"  0:33
(the first tandas at the Avalon are more like ambient music for the sumptuous dinner served by Halina, the milonga's amazing host, and I play them relatively quietly. But beginning from the third tanda already, the dancers begin to fill the floor, and the volume goes up, too)

I'm surprised how recent are these records of the once-overplayed nuevo tango hits of the bygone era, the era when we were making our first tango steps...

A Polish-Yiddish klezmery fox cortina signals a special Old Poland-centered tanda...
040. Adam Aston  "Nikodem"  0:20
I always try to include a tanda of Eastern European antebellum music at the Avalon, and this time the set includes one lesser known but really amazing voice, the voice of Janusz Poplawski (1898-1971), who starred as the Warsaw Opera soloist in the late 1920s and early 1930s, before accepting an invitation to sing in the Polish Opera in Chicago. There are many tangos among Poplawski's nearly 700 recordings, and I picked "Grzech" ("Sin", a ballad of the fatal draw of the tango music, sensual embrace, and wine) just because it sounded very Euro-Argentine. Later on, I was surprised to discover the reason! This tango is composed by Eduardo Bianco, of "Poema" fame...

This may be my first playlist extensively featuring Trio Garufa, a Bay Area band of 3 musicians from 3 continents which brags about being the first (and perhaps the only) US orchestra to have played at milongas in Buenos Aires. I played a "regular" milonga and a slow-longa and also hoped to play a vals of theirs, but run out of time...
