Tanda of the Week 14 / 2013 - Juan D'Arienzo 1936



1. Juan D'Arienzo - "El flete" 1936 - TangoTunes
2. Juan D'Arienzo - "Don Juan" 1936 - TangoTunes
3. Juan D'Arienzo - "Ataniche" 1936 - TangoTunes
4. Juan D'Arienzo - "La guitarrita" 1936 - TangoTunes


It's a great day to be a tango addict! TangoTunes.com has released a lot of tracks from Juan D'Arienzo in superb quality including these instrumentals from 1936. The songs are digitalized from shellacs in collaboration with the Tango Digital Archive and the sound quality makes me pray towards Buenos Aires five times a day. You can listen to the tanda on Spotify but especially the only version of "La guitarrita" available on Spotify is in much lower quality than what you get from TangoTunes.

I'm also happy to announce the second collaboration and special promotion between Tanda of the Week and TangoTunes.com:

With the promotional code: "TOTW14-DARIENZO" you will get a 10% discount on all purchases of the digitalizations of the Juan D'Arienzo shellacs available on TangoTunes.com.

1. Go to TangoTunes.com and find the D'Arienzo shellacs you'd like to purchase and add them to your shopping cart.
2. Go to your shopping cart/basket and type the promotional coupon code TOTW14-DARIENZO in the Discount Codes box and click apply coupon. You will see the discount applied in the total sum.
3. Checkout, complete your purchase, download your new music and enjoy!

I also posted in more detail on www.tangovalsmilonga.com about the D'Arienzo shellacs available on TangoTunes and especially about the possibly best ever quality version of "Trago Amargo".

Spotify - making tango music available worldwide

TOTW on Spotify is available in all these countries!

It's a big subject title for a post, but fortunately very true. As many of my readers have noticed, the tandas of TOTW are no longer available as mp3 files. Instead, I have tried to offer every other solution for listening to and purchasing the featured music and in my opinion Spotify is the best solution out there. Spotify used to be limited to only a handful of countries, but now it is growing fast both in audiences reached and the amount of tango music available.

Unfortunately there are some limitations to which music is available in certain countries, and too often I hear from tango fans in the U.S. that the songs of a featured tanda where not available for them. However the same songs might still be found on Spotify on another release or album but it is up to the individual to search for the songs. Hopefully this situation is fixed soon and all of the same music will be available to all users of Spotify worldwide.

Check the picture above if Spotify is available in your country, download the software (or use the web player) and listen to the Tanda of the Week playlist or follow me on Spotify. I'm also looking to connect with more tango scenes worldwide, so I'd appreciate if you can share a link to my blog in your local community websites and Facebook groups, thank you!

Here's more information about TangoTunes from their website:

"TangoTunes is an Austrian-Argentine project with the aim to preserve the music of Tango Argentino. This way, we also preserve and support a piece of Argentine culture, which was declared World Heritage several years ago.

In cooperation with TangoVia Buenos Aires we promote the project "Tango Digital Archive" with the goal to archive the recordings and documents of Tango Argentino in their entirety.

TangoTunes purchases selected collections of vinyl and shellac records from collectors in Argentina and digitizes them in a highly difficult process. Since the beginning of 2013, approximately 1.000 vinyl records and 5.000 shellac records are successively being digitized with precision and care. We offer these Tango recordings – our „tunes“ – to Tango lovers in our online store. Our product catalog is constantly expanding – it pays off to have a look more frequently!

Founded in 2013, TangoTunes is a young company located in Vienna, Austria and a branch in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We spend much time and care to restore the music of Tango Argentino as close to the original as possible. This not only requires much know-how and experience, but also great appreciation for the original and tenacious work for an ideal final result."
