I'm getting further and further behind with annotating playlists :( The days ahead of Mountain Milonga Retreat are just too frantic. But better late than never?

The July edition of Milonga Sin Nombre has been named "Celeste y Blanco", "Light Blue and White", after the colors of the Argentine flag in commemoration of Argentina's Independence Day. It's our 50th Milonga Sin Nombre :O !

We are also celebrating Troilo's birthday, aka Argentine National Day of the Bandoneon, on July 11th. The most famous of the bandoneonists who conducted tango orchestras, Anibal Troilo, the complex, musicians' musician, wasn't really my favorite for a very long time. But I always loved his valses!

We are also celebrating Enrique Cadicamo's birthday on July 15th. One of tango's greatest poets wrote lyrics for over 1,000 songs, and lived to the age of 99, always in the glow of ladies' attention."Nostalgias", in the tanda below, is one of Cadicamo's most beloved verses. "Missing the sound of her crazy laughter, and the fire of her breath on my lips ... The anguish of the loss..."

The earliest, intensely rhythmical recordings of Troilo's orchestra are more accessible, yet they already carry the seeds of the future complexity

| "The fat man" Troilo |
The voice of Fiorentino made a perfect fusion with the sound of Troilo's orchestra and set the high standard for the tango's magnificient 40s. This was the singer who became a true equal with the orchestra's musicians in making the dancers' bodies move.
045. Anibal Troilo - Francisco Fiorentino "Te aconsejo que me olvides" 1941 2:58
046. Anibal Troilo - Francisco Fiorentino "El Bulin de La Calle Ayacucho" 1941 2:29

Barely a year after the first Troilo's recordings were cut, he is already transitioning from the upbeat rhythmic pieces to the music of sorrow, darkness, and beautiful complexity
053. Anibal Troilo - Francisco Fiorentino "Malena" 1942 2:59
054. Anibal Troilo - Francisco Fiorentino "Pa' que seguir" 1942 2:35

J
ose Garcia, a violinist, band leader and composer, has been born on July 22, 1910. His orchestra has been immortalized as "gray foxes", "Zorro grices", in what started as a wardrobe accident. They bought cheap suits for their first gigs, and got the nickname of "grays" after the color of these costumes. But Jose made this nickname work to his advantage, by linking it with the title of a classic, beloved tango, "Zorro gris". The "Zorro grices" were an excellent orchestra, but their repertoire is almost always upstaged by Carlos Di Sarli, who recorded the same titles, including Garcia's most famous composition, "Esta noche de Luna", "This moonlit night". So for me, tonight is the first attempt to play a whole tanda of Jose Garcia's orchestra!

| Garcia's "foxes" were proud to wear gray |

| Ciriaco Ortiz, with hs bando and his famous smile |
We are close to the birth date of a great bandoneonist and bandleader (and a sharp-tongued witty humorist) Ciriaco Ortiz (Aug 5 1905 - July 9, 1970) who, in the early 1930s, blazed the trail later followed by Troilo. Born in Cordoba, Ortiz famously dubbed his band "Los Provincianos", "The Provincials". But there is a July-specific reason to play the Provincianos tanda: the final vals is the composition of Luis Rubistein (born July 8, 1908), one of the many great "Russians" of the Argentine tango.
061. Los Provincianos (Ciriaco Ortiz) - Carlos Lafuente "Un placer" 1933 2:34
062. Los Provincianos (Ciriaco Ortiz) - Luis Diaz "A Tu Memoria, Madrecita (vals)" 1934 2:45
063. Los Provincianos (Ciriaco Ortiz) - Alberto Gomez "Samaritana (vals)" 1932 2:58
064. Soda Stereo "Corazon elator" 0:28
"Tres esquinas", "Three corners" is another signature verse of Enrique Cadicamo, named after a neighborhood which is just as rundown and dangerous in today's Buenos Aires as it was back in the days ... "I come from this humble barrio, and I am this sentimental tango. There, we sip our mate under the shade of the trellis..."
065. Ángel D'Agostino - Ángel Vargas "Tres esquinas" 1941 3:05
066. Ángel D'Agostino - Ángel Vargas "Ahora no me conoces" 1940 2:34
067. Ángel D'Agostino - Ángel Vargas "Ninguna" 1942 2:57
068. Los Iracundos "Puerto Montt rock" 1971 0:27
And the beautifully sentimental "Niebla del riachuelo", "Mist of the creek" (which isn't just any creek, but is a part of the seaport of Buenos Aires), is also a verse of Cadicamo's
069. Osvaldo Fresedo - Roberto Ray "Niebla del riachuelo" 1937 2:25
070. Osvaldo Fresedo - Roberto Ray "Sollozos" 1937 3:27
071. Osvaldo Fresedo - Roberto Ray "Recuerdos De Bohemia" 1935 2:36
072. Bravo - Zhanna Aguzarova "Space Rock-n-Roll" 1993 0:12
073. Carlos di Sarli - Roberto Rufino "La Mulateada" 1941 2:22
074. Carlos di Sarli - Roberto Rufino "Cuando un viejo se enamora" 1942 2:14
075. Carlos di Sarli - Roberto Rufino "Pena Mulata" 1941 2:27
(a break for the performance marking the 9th of July Independence Day of Argentina sends me scrambling for the perfect tango about this day, "Nueve de Julio", "The ninth of July". A little mix-up here ... D'Arienzo recorded this most excellent and most rhythmic tune more than ones, and I make a mistake pairing his 1960s masterpiece with his much earlier recordings. Should have made the whole tanda out of 1960s and 1970s tracks!)
076. Juan D'Arienzo - Instrumental "Nueve de Julio" 1966 2:54
077. Juan D'Arienzo - Instrumental "Jueves" 1937 2:33
078. Juan D'Arienzo - Instrumental "Gallo Ciego" 1937 2:59
079. Carlitos Rolan "Cuarteto2" 0:19
"Pa Que Bailen Los Muchachos", another classic lyrics by Enrique Cadicamo, in a brooding and suspenseful tanda of Troilo's later recordings
080. Anibal Troilo - Francisco Fiorentino "Pa Que Bailen Los Muchachos" 1942 2:49
081. Anibal Troilo - Instrumental "La Maleva" 1942 2:41

086. Enrique Rodriguez - Armando Moreno "En el volga yo te espero" 1943 2:40
087. Zhanna Aguzarova "Old Hotel" 1987 0:22
If Luis Rubistein first proved his mettle with Samaritana, then "Carnaval de mi barrio" (subtitled "A street painting in the tempo of tango") was one of the highest points of his later career
088. Edgardo Donato - Lita Morales y Romeo Gavio "Mi Serenata" 1940 3:01
089. Edgardo Donato - Horacio Lagos, Lita Morales y Romeo Gavio "Sinfonia de Arrabal" 1940 3:09
