1. Orquesta Tipica Victor / Alberto Gomez - "Amor cobarde" 1933
2. Orquesta Tipica Victor - "Ensueño" 1927
3. Orquesta Tipica Victor / Ángel Vargas - "Sin rumbo fijo" 1938
I love this tanda. Not only is it from the great Orquesta Tipica Victor but it has two of my (many) favorite singers Alberto Gomez and Ángel Vargas and a great instrumental also. The songs are also clearly from three different periods of time (early 30's, late 20's and late 30's) but still work together nicely in my opinion. I hope you don't mind but I cut the intro of the first song a bit.

I know this isn't the most traditional way of putting a tanda together and I usually don't mix instrumentals with vocal songs but I also don't have anything against it if the songs work well together. And really rarely I mix different time periods together. But like I said I believe these songs go together great and "Sin rumbo fijo" continues from where "Ensueño" left off using a similar sound and main theme in the song. All the songs also have similar sound quality. The fact that one song has vocals while the other song doesn't isn't really the main issue for me. I think the flow of music continues perfectly from the first song to the last although it has three songs you wouldn't automatically put together and you can notice the diffence in time periods. Going from the oldest to the newest might be better for the structure of the tanda but then again Amor Cordabe will get the people on the floor faster. There are other great valses from OTV like "Temo" and "Intimo" which I end up playing more than "Ensueño".
