Siberian Milonga playlist, September 24, 2017

Milonga in Tymen', Siberia, hosted by the amazing Anton and Darya Mayantzev, capped a day of tango classes, practica, yours truly presentation on tango history and poetry, and, finally, an inaugural milonga at a new downtown venue, restaurant and bar "Sedlo" (which is technically open until 2am, but was actually clamoring to close as we were playing the final tandas just short of midnight). The "Baires" tango club is very lovingly decorated with BsAs tango memorabilia; the grand orchestra names are etched into the walls, and the teachers are properly crazy about spreading the gospel of Argentine tango. The community isn’t big yet, but there is enough energy for a nice milonga already, and the ranks of aspiring, talented beginner tangueros are also amazing. The busiest and liveliest of the nearby Argentine tango communities may be 200 miles away in Chelyabinsk, but we actually had visitors from there joining the milonga!
(and for this playlist comments, I shall switch to Russian now)

Сердечная благодарность Антону и Дарье Маянцевым и танго-школе "Байрес" в г. Тюмень за организацию моего "сибирского десанта", за талант и замечательный неподдельный энтузиазм. Мне очень понравилось. Удачи и многих хороших танд вам, тюменские тангеро!

В тюменском ресторане "Седло" милонга проходит первый раз. Аудиосистема непроверенная. "Проверка звука, она же первая танда" начинается с музыки первого квинтета Канаро (который, как все, кого зовут Франциско, мог изображать из себя испанца и брать кличку "Панчо"). Но уже на второй песне пары выходят на танцпол, поэтому тут же добавляю четвертую запись к танде, чтобы не оставить наших первопроходцев без полноразмерной тандочки.

Люблю ставить аргентинские записи, вдохновленные русской классикой, как вот этот вальс про реку "Вольгу", который "Мой костер в тумане". В стране иммигрантов и наши музыкальные мотивы и музыканты оставили классный отпечаток. Вообще "русос",  русскими в Байресе традиционно считают потомков евреев Украины и Бессарабии, просто потому, что народ в свое время приехал с российскими паспортами. Особенно много замечательных танго-скрипачей пошло из той волны эмиграции.

Экспериментальная танда, которая не удалась. Запал на звук квартета Фирпо, особенно как под пальцами самого маэстро звенят, как хрусталем, клавиши фортепиано. К этому времени за его плечами были уже десятилетия славы и уход на пенсию, но жизнь сложилась так, что деньги пропали и "из отставки" ему снова пришлось вернуться "к прежней работе". Их вальсы я ставил достаточно часто, а тут попробовал танго, отверг самые медлительные записи, но оказался в результате с тандой очень быстрых, но не очень богатых на текстуру танго. Значит, будем думать...

Еще одна экспериментальная для меня танда - инструментальный Тройло более поздних 40-х, сложная и прекрасная музыка. Сегодня уже были более стандартные инструментальные записи Тройло из его самого раннего периода, самые ритмические, но захотелось добавить еще одну танду попечальнее и позадумчивее. Мне понравилось.

Филиберто - гениальный танго-композитор и, впоследствии, бессменный руководитель муниципального оркестра народной музыки Буэнос-Айреса - играл, конечно, и танго, хотя местные знатоки смотрели на это с сомнением, поскольку маэстро принципиально выступал за фьюжн всех народных стилей. Но вот вальсы Филиберто, это абсолютно стоит послушать.

Бросив в плейлист аргентинскую кортину, я на секунду задумался, а не ошибкой ли были мои (в основном) ретро-российские кортины в Тюмени? Пошло ли под настроение, или лучше было бы взять заставки "подальше от дома", поэкзотичнее? Но была не была, будем продолжать в том же ключе.

53. Miguel Caló - Raúl Berón "Que te importa que te llore" 1942 2:44
“Jamas retornaras” - еще одно аргентинское классическое танго, в котором можно услышать ретро-российские мотивы. Одна из двух фраз, из которых построена эта композиция, близка к "уличному танго" моего детства, "Сиреневому Туману". Даже слова очень похожи. Но тут, я уверен, связь скорее обратная. "Сиреневый туман" известен с поздних военных лет и вполне мог быть навеян мелодией из Аргентины. Правда, уже в послесоветские годы, когда эта песня снова стала популярной, за копирайт судились потомки двух предполагаемых авторов, и под суду как бы доказали, что эта песня якобы создана еще в 1937 году, но только оставалась совершенно неизвестной. Но на самом деле остались сильные сомнения, та ли была песня, или другая с похожим названием, но совсем не танго, или вообще ничего не было.  Суд судом, а я остаюсь в убеждении, что в данном случае не аргентинцы взяли эту мелодию у русских, а наоборот.

Milonga Sin Nombre de Luna Llena, July 2017

To my great consternation, I can't figure out what was played for the first tanda :) it must have been from a different interface, because my saved list begins with a cortina which followed.

Since it is a full Moon night, there are many Moon-themed tangos in the list. And the very first one already offers a foray into history. "Esta noche de luna", "This moonlit night", has been composed by José García of the Grey Foxes of Tango. I played his eponymous tango composition, "Zorro Gris", on many occasions and by different orchestras, but I don't think I ever played Garcia's own recordings. The "problem" is that many of the Garcia's hits were also played and recorded by other superb orchestras such as Di Sarli's, and Garcia's "Grey Foxes" always get the short straw.... Todotango reports that José García had much stronger fan base in Colombia & Chile than at home. Anyway - let's celebrate this July "birthday boy" born July 22, 1908! In the image of his orchestra, in their trademark gray suits, José García is the violinist in the center.

Luis Rubistein (1908-1954)

Luis Rubistein, born July 8 1908, authored both the music and the lyrics of Donato's super-hit, a sweet, gently funny, and softly melancholic hymn to an Italo-Argentine neighborhood, "Carnaval de mi barrio". Rubistein was born Moises Rubinstein to a family of recent Russian Jewish immigrants. A cobbler's son, he never even completed grade school, having been kicked out of 3rd grade after a conflict with teacher over ... the little bright kid's writing poems in class! Luis's father died early and he became a father figure to his younger brothers, who also went on to become tango poets and composers under pen names Oscar Rubens and Elias Randal.
Writing tango lyrics brought Luis Rubistein early fame when Carlos Gardel performed his "Tarde gris" in 1930, but Luis was also also a successful music journalist, and even sang with D'Arienzo, despite being a stutterer in everyday speech.By the age of 25, Rubistein started composing tangos as well, reaching spectacular success with "Carnival de mi barrio", subtitled "Street painting in the tempo of tango".

July 11th marks the birth date of Anibal Troilo, one of the most influential tango musicians. I showcased Troilo's life and music before, especially when we were marking Anibal Troilo centennial in 2014. With Argentine National Day of Tango already "taken" by Carlos Gardel and Julio de Caro's common birthday, the grateful nation has opted, in 2005, to make Troilo's birthday, July 11th, the National Day of Bandoneon! In the imaginary Bandoneon Player hall of fame, with such incredible talents as Pedro Maffia, Pedro Laurenz, Ciriaco Ortiz, and Astor Piazzolla, Troilo stands out both as a longtime orchestra leader and as a political survivor, who continued appearing on TV and publishing records well into LP age, even as tango entered its Dark Ages. As a result, to the generation before the Rebirth of Tango in the 1990s, Anibal Troilo epitomized the old and continuing glory of the genre. In my most humble opinion, this glory was partly tainted and not fully deserved, but then, I always rooted for the underdogs and the fallen! Anyway - we will celebrate tonight with vals and tango tandas, and these shall be from the Golden Forties, rather than from latter, darker era.

The 1941 "Charlemos" was the highest point of Luis Rubistein's career as a composer and songwriter. In just over the year, Luis Rubistein's main business in live radio broadcasting will be destroyed by military censorship after a coup, and he will never recover. An incredible song, a tale of a desperate call to a made-up telephone number, with a teary apology in its closing line, which, as a tango historian Julio Nudler reconstructs, may have really sounded "Soy Judio ... Perdóneme ...". Forgive my sadness, for I am Jewish. This was the year of the Holocaust ghettos and deportation, soon to flare up with millions shot dead in the killing fields of Eastern Europe. And Rubistein was always eager to open Argentina to the Jewish themes. Who knows?

Anibal Troilo teamed up with "Fiore" (Francisco Fiorentino) right from the opening night in "Marabu" in 1937, but they didn't start mass recording until 4 years later. And their earliest 1941 hits are the dearest to my heart among Troilo's nearly 500 records spanning over 3 decades. The union of a vocal with the orchestra is so seamlessly perfect! No wonder many in Argentina are willing to credit Troilo with single-handedly inventing the "cantor de orquesta" style of tango!

Enrique Cadicamo (1900-1999)

We also celebrate birthday of a great tango poet Enrique Cadicamo on July 15th. He lived to the age of 99, published many books and wrote over 1,000 tango songs - so many that even Gardel managed to sing over 20 of them! A bohemian and a womanizer of his younger years, Cadicamo settled down in his later life, even marrying in his 60s, and quitting smoking ... at 86.
No milonga would ever be complete without a Cadicamo song, but "Tres esquinas" is one of the most acclaimed of them, a nostalgic memory of the poor immigrant neighborhood, with its three street corners on a side of railroad tracks. The rails are gone, but the barrio is said to remain dirt poor and full of immigrants, not a tourist spot by any means...

Bedford Milonga Weekend, June 25 2017

I'm over 2 months behind with posting playlists and of course it kind of defeats one of the main purposes of doing it (which is to let your guests remember what they danced to while the memory is still fresh). But I have an excuse, a big one. With Mountain Milonga organizing duties, I had to let a lot of other things go, and then the things piled up. Anyway better late than never :)

Bedford Wyo tango weekend was very informal and very fun. Per our host's request I played a part-alternative open-ended list, throwing more fuel into the fire as necessary, venturing very old and very new...

Broken-hearts over a cold stream ask me if we'll ever dance in the Star Valley again...
