Mixed vals tandas

I played several experimental mixed-orchestra sets in recent weeks, and people asked about them. It may be a good reason to bring this blog back from its slumber...

A fiery tanda with Castillo's voice but without the nearly-obligatory Violetas:

1. Orquesta Tipica los Provincianos (Ciriaco Ortiz) - Alberto Gomez "Samaritana" 1932 2:58

2. Alberto Castillo  "Idilio Trunco" 1946 2:08

3. Edgardo Donato - Horacio Lagos, Lita Morales, Romeo Gavioli  "La shunca" 1941 2:35

An instrumental and surprisingly modern-sounding tanda:

1. Juan De Dios Filiberto - Instrumental "Tus Ojos Me Embelesan" 1935 2:34

2. Cuarteto Roberto Firpo - Instrumental "Para Las Chicas" 1942 2:11

3. Cuarteto Tipico Los Ases (Juan Carlos Cambon) - Instrumental "Invernal" 1941 2:42

Excellent songs joined together:

1. Francisco Lomuto - Fernando Diaz  "Cuando estaba enamorado" 1940 2:19

2. Enrique Rodriguez - Roberto Flores  "Salud Dinero Y Amor" 1939 2:39

3. Orquesta Típica Víctor - Ángel Vargas "Sin Rumbo Fijo" 1938 2:18

Rich, complex, breathtaking:

1. Alfredo de Angelis - Juan Carlos Godoy  "Angélica" 1961 2:41

2. Héctor Varela - Argentino Ledesma y Rodolfo Lesica "Igual Que Dos Palomas" 1953 2:36

3. Enrique Rodriguez - El "Chato" Flores "Las Espigadoras" 1938 2:47
